Anotations

Scope note:

In casting, interfaces where two streams of metal come together in a mold but do not fuse properly, often due to premature cooling of the metal in the mold. A cold shut may also describe a hole or void in a cast caused by premature cooling. The cooled metal edges will be rounded in profile.
