Rule 8. Plan Segregation Distribution

Change of section will normally involve change in distribution of alloying elements in the casting. This can mean parts of the casting are out of chemical specification. Such problems may need to be addressed if properties are threatened (such as a local brittleness, especially in a stressed region) and may require prior negotiation with the customer.
