Suck back porosity is due to_________________?

Correct answer: B. Hot spot

  • A. Attached impurities on undersurface of casting
  • B. Hot spot
  • C. No rapid cooling
  • D. Inadequate melting temperature

Explanation

Suck-back porosity is shrinkage porosity caused by a hot spot, usually at the sprue-casting junction, where solidification is delayed and the area cannot receive liquid metal. The defect is therefore linked to localized overheating rather than simply slow cooling.
