text: Inclusions can create problems in the casting when they are large and in too high concentration. Here are examples of problems related to inclusions:
  * Pinholes in light gauge foil
  * Flange cracks in beverage containers
  * Surface streaks in bright automotive trim and lithographic material
  * Breakage in wire drawing operation
  * Increased tool wear and tear
  * Increased porosity
  * Loss of pressure tightness of engine blocks
  * Poor machinability
  * Cosmetic defect in apparent surfaces
  * Diminished mechanical properties (e.g. Ultimate Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, Elongation)
