Which risk increases after a sand casting process?

A)Ductility decreases near surface
B)Uniform grain structure formation
C)Material density increases uniformly
D)Improved resistance to corrosion

💡 Explanation

Ductility near the surface will decrease because oxidation reduces grain boundary cohesion during cooling of the molten mold via the chemical process of embrittlement. Therefore the material becomes brittle rather than retaining ductility, because the oxidation alters its atomic structure.
