← ScienceWhich risk increases when aluminum casting chills too rapidly?
A)Elevated gas porosity within the metal✓
B)Increased alloy segregation throughout the casting
C)Reduced oxidation rate along mold interface
D)Higher crystalline structure within the solid
💡 Explanation
Gas solubility decreases notably as molten aluminum rapidly cools to its solid phase; therefore, hydrogen dissolved in the melt forms gas bubbles, increasing gas porosity within the casting, rather than allowing uniform distribution throughout the solidifying metal.
