Which outcome occurs in investment casting when initial flask preheating degrades?

💡 Explanation

Increased shell-cracking and porosity results because thermal gradients become excessive during initial pouring; the mechanism is differential thermal expansion during rapid cooling soon after pouring, therefore defects increase rather than improving quality typically through reduced thermal shock.
