← HistoryWhich risk becomes more prominent during bronze casting when the crucible overheats?
A)Dendritic crystal formation accelerates rapidly
B)Gas porosity increases significantly and quickly✓
C)Alloy segregation diminishes noticeably
D)Crucible thermal expansion is minimized
💡 Explanation
Severe overheating increases the metal's solubility for dissolved gases, activating the gas diffusion mechanism; therefore, gas porosity increases, leading to weaker castings, rather than the dendritic growth or minimized crucible expansion, which are influenced by cooling rates instead.
