The statement "A small gate is used for castings which solidify rapidly" is incorrect because, in practice, castings that solidify rapidly generally require larger gates to ensure adequate flow and feeding of the molten metal before solidification completes. Gates with larger cross-sectional areas are used to increase the flow rate of the molten metal into the mold, ensuring the mold fills completely before the metal solidifies.
