microshrinkage termin techniczny , także: micro shrinkage termin techniczny

Primary applications are the reduction of microshrinkage, the consolidation of powder metals, ceramic composites and metal cladding.

The defects are broken up into macroporosity and microporosity (or microshrinkage), where macroporosity can be seen by the naked eye and microporosity cannot.

Gas porosity can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from microshrinkage because microshrinkage cavities can contain gases as well.
