Some can be seen with the bare eye while but some cannot. Closed shrinkage defects are formed within the casting.

It usually appears at the top of the hot spots or isolated pools of the hot liquid. These casting defects are also known as shrinkage porosity. It is open to the atmosphere and allows air to enter as the shrinkage cavity is formed. These casting defects are located at the surface as pipes and burrow into the casting. Shrinkage types of casting defects are classified into two: One can prevent shrinkage casting defects by improving the overall casting structure which includes, designing a running (gate) system with risers to enables a continuous flow of molten metal, reduce casting temperature to reduce the total volume deficit, and by increasing local heat dissipation by inserting cooling ribs or coils, and internal chills. Specifically, alloys, shrink when changing from molten to solid because their density in a molten state is lower than that of a solid state. So, one should factor shrinkage allowance into the pattern design during casting. These defects should always be expected during solidification.

Shrinkage casting defects happen because metals are less dense as a liquid than a solid.

Its porosity appears with angular edges when compared with round surfaces of gas porosity. These types of casting defects occur during the solidification of the casting.
