Field guide to diagnosing and preventing casting defects with photos and acceptance criteria. Focus on porosity, shrinkage, veining, cold shuts, sand inclusion, warpage and paint adhesion, plus corrective actions that last
Porosity vs Shrinkage in Iron castings Who this helps: Design Engineers / Buyers troubleshooting iron castings (gray/grey & ductile/SG, incl. ADI) where leak paths, blisters, or cavities threaten function and cost.What you’ll get: a practical diagnostic map (porosity vs shrinkage), root-cause levers you can control (melting, molding, cores, feeding), copy-paste drawing notes, plus a prove-it…
Excerpt: For Design Engineers and Buyers in pumps, compressors, off-highway machinery, and general industrial castings. This practical guide gives you an executable root-cause checklist, refractory coating (coating) parameter windows, and acceptance criteria to eliminate sand inclusion and burn-on, cut rework/scrap, and pass PPAP/FAI in both prototype and production.
