Please I need answer with Details
State the steps that must be taken to correct the following casting defects:
1. Formation of discontinuity in the casting.-
2. Cast surface consisting of a mixture of sand and metal.
3. Casting with balloon-shaped gas cavity near the surface.
4. Formation of hot tearing in expandable and permanent mold casungs.
5. Metal splatters during pouring and solid globules form and become entrapped in
casting.
