Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 41QLP
The “slushy” state of alloys refers to that state between the solidus and liquidus temperatures, as described in Section 10.2.2. Pure metals do not have such a slushy state. Does this mean that pure metals cannot be slush cast? Explain.

Describe the stages involved in the contraction of metals during casting.(a) Contraction of the molten metals as it cools prior to its solidification.(b) Contraction of the metal during phase change from liquid to solid.(c) Contraction of the solidified metals as its temperature drops to ambient temperature.(d) All of above.(e) None of above.2. What kinds of defects in castings?(a) Hot tear.(b) Surface scar.(c) Plastic deformation.(d) Ductile flow.3. How does porosity have detrimental effects on the mechanical and physical properties ofcastings?(a) Pores in castings are resulted from internal discontinuities when that are prone topropagate under external stresses.(b) The toughness of a material will decrease as a result of porosity.(c) Physical properties, such as thermal and electrical conductivity, also be adverselyaffected by porosity.(d) Pores increase the strength and elastic modulus.(e) Porosity increases both the thermal and electrical conductivity4. Thermosetting plastics can…
