Air bubbles formed on the surface of casting is probably due to________________?
Correct answer: D. Improper wetting of the wax pattern by the investment
- A. Improper casting pressure
- B. Improper heating of the investment
- C. Improper angulation of sprue
- D. Improper wetting of the wax pattern by the investment
Explanation
Air trapped against a poorly wetted wax pattern produces rounded surface bubbles or nodules in the casting. Proper wetting of the pattern with a surfactant helps the investment flow over the surface and displace air.
