Suck back porosity in the casting can be eliminated by________________?

Correct answer: C. Flaring the point of the sprue attachment

  • A. Increasing the mould metal temperature difference
  • B. Increasing the flow of molten metal
  • C. Flaring the point of the sprue attachment
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

Flaring the sprue at its attachment provides a larger reservoir of molten alloy and reduces the localized hot spot responsible for suck-back shrinkage. It improves feeding of the casting as solidification progresses.
