Hi: I have encountered a cold shut occurence (identified) by third party material lab for a manifold casting as the cause of leakage.Also, the report says that they found shrinkage in the material at the inlet of the fluid.
I want to know the basic definition of cold shut?also, what are the likely chances of it occuring in a design part ( which can be manufactured by forging or by casting) Kindly, advise.
Thanks, neil
