Solidification shrinkage in casting is defined as which one of the following:
A)liquid contraction during cooling prior to solidification
B)liquid contraction during cooling and solidification
C)contraction during the phase change from liquid to solid
D)thermal contraction of the solidified casting during cooling to room temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solidification shrinkage specifically refers to the contraction that occurs when a material transitions from the liquid phase to the solid phase during the casting process. This phase change contraction is distinct from thermal contraction that occurs either before solidification or after the material has solidified.
