← TechnologyWhich outcome results when residual gases remain after a die casting?
A)Increased stress corrosion cracking✓
B)Improved high-cycle fatigue life
C)Elevated metal temperature threshold
D)Reduced tooling degradation anomaly
💡 Explanation
Increased stress corrosion cracking results due to retained gases creating porosity; this involves outgassing and reduced material density. Because crack propagation is easier through porous structures, corrosion accelerates at stress points; therefore, the lifespan decreases rather than increases relative to a gas-free cast.
