Distortion
- Wax pattern distortion
2. Setting of investment
Air Bubbles
Air entrapment on surface of wax during investing
Water Films
- Jarring of the pattern, separating it from investment
2. Too high Water/Powder ratio
Veins or Ridges
Water Films
Fins
Heating too rapidly, leading to cracks in investment
Rough Casting
- High Water/Powder ratio
2. Overheating the alloy
Black Surface, Rough sides of mold
Release of Sulfur gases from prolonged heating/heating too high
Deficiency in Casting Surface
Foreign Bodies
Localized Shrinkage Porosity
Incomplete feeding of molten metal during casting
Microporosity
Solidification rate too high from mold or casting temp too low
Pinhole Porosity
Gases dissolved in metal during melting
