Just tried a 3% nickel addition to our standard gray iron mix for a high-wear part, expecting a harder surface but the whole batch came out with way more shrinkage than predicted.

Watching the new guy try to patch a core blow with just green sand for three hours straight was a special kind of Tuesday.
