This occurs when a metal becomes stiffer and harder because of continued or repeated application of a load or force. At this point, no further slippage of the atoms of the metal can occur without fracture. c. Heat Softening Treatment (Annealing). This treatment is necessary in …

<p>CASTING DEFECTS</p>

CASTING DEFECTS Classification : 1) Distortion. 2) Surface roughness . 3) Porosity . 4)Incomplete casting . 5) Oxidation . 6) Sulfur contamination . Distortion It is usually due to the distortion of wax pattern. To avoid this : Manipulation of the wax at its softening temp Invest the pattern at the earliest . If storage is necessary store it in a refrigerator . Surface roughness May be due to : Air bubbles on the wax pattern . Cracks due t…
