Short answer: A dendrite is the tree-like crystal that grows as molten metal freezes; its arm spacing and segregation decide the casting’s strength, porosity and machinability, so controlling solidification is the heart of good casting quality.

Growth From the Melt
Crystals branch as heat leaves the liquid; structure is read under Metal Metallography Guide and governs Metal Recrystallization Temperature Guide later. Tie to Casting Supplier 그리고 Investment Casting Vs Die Casting.
Controlling Segregation
Faster cooling and chilling refine arms; alloy freezing range sets segregation, which Metal Strain Hardening Guide 그리고 Metal Creep Guide later reveal. Compare with Aluminum Die Casting Guide 그리고 Aluminum Casting Defects Guide.
