    The document discusses common defects found in cast products produced via sand casting and die casting. For sand casting, common defects include shrinkage, piping, porosity, blow-holes, blisters, mis-runs, cold shuts, inclusions, cracks, and hot tears. For die casting, common defects are mis-runs, cold shuts, and hot tears. Defects specifically found in continuous casting include longitudinal and transverse cracks, rhomboidity, and star cracks. The document also discusses detecting casting defects through destructive and non-destructive inspection methods.
