Cracks are thin (straight or jagged) linearly disposed discontinuities that<br />

occur after the melt has solidified. They generally appear singly and originate<br />

at casting surfaces.<br />

Cold shuts generally appear on or near a surface <strong>of</strong> cast metal as a result <strong>of</strong><br />

two streams <strong>of</strong> liquid meeting and failing to unite. They may appear on a<br />

radiograph as cracks or seams with smooth or rounded edges.<br />
