Translation of the Foundry Terminology of Porosity Defects
Porosity defect is one of the most common defects in casting,and it is also one of the most commonly used foundry termi-nology in casting production activities.However,for a long time,the English translation of this kind of term is different from the main-stream application of the industry.Although the new standard has improved to some extent,the definitions of terms such as shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity are still different,which is not conducive to learning and communication activities.Based on our daily bus-iness and technical practice experience,this paper provides a detailed analysis and definition of commonly used terms,which can be used as a reference for the subsequent revision of the foundry terminology standard.
