Technology

Which outcome occurs when a sand casting mold is inadequately vented during molten nickel alloy pouring?

A)Increased porosity within the casting
B)Microstructure refines grain boundary carbides
C)Improved alloy ductility at high temperatures
D)Enhanced corrosion resistance in chloride solutions

💡 Explanation

Increased porosity results within castings because undissolved gasses cannot escape, initiating the mechanism of gas entrapment. Therefore, porosity increases rather than improving alloy properties; proper venting would allow gas escape, minimizing defects.
