Which shrinkage defect results when a casting's thick sections cool slower than thin ones?

💡 Explanation

Riser starvation occurs because the risers, intended to feed the casting during solidification, cannot supply enough molten metal to compensate for the volumetric contraction. Therefore, shrinkage develops in inadequately fed heavy sections, rather than uniform solidification.
