Which outcome results from excessive gas entrapment during investment casting?

💡 Explanation

Excessive inert casting atmosphere causes incomplete gas expulsion, resulting in increased porosity because the dissolved gases precipitate as voids during investment solidification. Therefore, material property porosity worsens with gas entrapment, rather than improves strength or surface properties because pore sites create stress concentrators.
