Gases dissolved in molten metals are liberated when cooled giving rise to________________?

Correct answer: B. Gas inclusion porosity

  • A. Suckback porosity
  • B. Gas inclusion porosity
  • C. Localized shrinkage porosity
  • D. Microporosity

Explanation

Gas dissolved in molten metal becomes less soluble as the metal cools and is released as bubbles, producing gas-inclusion or gas porosity. Suck-back and localized shrinkage porosity result mainly from inadequate feeding during solidification.
