Common casting defects include:

  • Porosity: Small holes or voids in the casting caused by trapped gases.
  • Cold Shuts: Occur when the metal doesn’t fully flow into the mold, leading to an incomplete fill.
  • Shrinkage: Happens when the metal cools and contracts, often causing voids inside the part.
  • Hot Tears: Cracks that form when the metal cools too quickly.
  • Surface Defects: Scratches, pits, or uneven surfaces that may need additional finishing.

We utilize stringent quality control procedures to minimize and detect these defects.
