← TechnologyWhich type of porosity increases when a casting's cooling rate decreases?
A)Gas evolution porosity
B)Shrinkage related porosity✓
C)Inclusion induced porosity
D)Hydrogen diffusion porosity
💡 Explanation
Shrinkage related porosity increases with slower cooling because interdendritic feeding cannot keep up with volume contraction as the metal solidifies; therefore, voids form internally rather than achieving complete density because the faster cooling results in higher microsegregation.
