A typical B2B buyer loses 3\u20138% of casting output<\/strong> to defectos de fundici\u00f3n<\/strong> every month \u2014 gas porosity, shrinkage, sand inclusions, cold shuts, cracks. Each rejected part burns raw material, energy, machining hours, and most painfully, the delivery slot. This guide walks you through the eight casting defects that drive the majority of scrap, why they appear, and the process controls that actually prevent them on a real shop floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Whether you run sand castings or investment castings<\/a>, the same defect families show up \u2014 they just hide in different places. Below we map each defect to its root cause, the inspection method that catches it, and the prevention tactic our foundry engineers apply on every quote. We reference AFS (American Foundry Society)<\/a> defect classifications and NADCA acceptance criteria so the numbers you see are not made up.<\/p>\n

Why Casting Defects Happen in Modern Foundries<\/h2>\n

Most casting defects are not random. They fall into four root-cause buckets:<\/p>\n
