casting defect

[Casting defect]
Casting involves the transformation of metal from liquid to solid, as well as processes such as molding, melting, and pouring, so various defects are likely to occur.

This expression is said to have originated from the fact that when casting Buddha statues, if the molten metal does not circulate around the halo, the statue will end up looking like a Buddha statue without a halo.
