With indirect spruing. Which one of the following porosities can be minimised_______________?

Correct answer: B. Localized shrinkage porosity

  • A. Back pressure porosity
  • B. Localized shrinkage porosity
  • C. Pin hole porosity
  • D. Micro porosity

Explanation

Indirect spruing provides a more effective metal reservoir and feeding path, so localized shrinkage porosity is reduced. Back-pressure and pinhole porosities are mainly related to inadequate venting or trapped gases, not the primary benefit of indirect spruing.
