Which risk increases in precision casting when the mold's chill rate is insufficient?

A)Increased micro-porosity formation
B)Elevated residual thermal stress
C)Reduced alloy elemental segregation
D)Improved surface finish uniformity

💡 Explanation

Insufficient chill rate during casting slows solidification, promoting dendritic growth and preventing efficient feeding of molten metal; the mechanism of increased micro-porosity formation occurs because of shrinkage. Therefore, micro-porosity risk increases, rather than reduced stress or elemental segregation, where rapid cooling helps.
