Streak mark white

    Also appear as silver streaks.

    Causes of white streak marks are:

    Moisture

    Streaking occurs opposite the flow direction due to a high residual moisture content. Drying the material properly removes this defect.

    Air

    Air is trapped and cannot escape while the mold is filling. The air is drawn to the surface and stretched in the direction of the flow causing streak marks.
