Answer / anil kamat
If it is a free flow single gate single runner casting then
the density variation leads to the diffrence in properties
across various sections. To get uniform density variation
usually pressure flow multigate multirunner castings are
preferred.

Answer / preethi
uneven solidification results in different grain size and
that leads to the difference in hardness. the surface of the
cast will have finer grains due to faster solidification
(comparatively high temperature gradient) than the core.

Answer / shashikant g. sane
The casting must have solidified with uneven cooling rates.
So the part that has cooled faster has developed extra
hardness.
