← TechnologyWhich risk increases when molten metal is introduced in gravity die casting without initial preheating?
A)Premature solidification of thin sections✓
B)Increased oxidation because of metal disruption
C)Elevated porosity due to alloy expansion
D)Alloy segregation during even cooling
💡 Explanation
Premature solidification occurs because lack of preheating increases the temperature gradient, therefore cooling rate is also increased due to rapid heat extraction by the die rather than gradual cooling and uniform grain structure.
