A new guy from the aluminum shop said our pour temps were 'aggressive' and it got me looking at our logs.
He pointed out that our standard 1350 degrees for a certain gray iron part was about 50 degrees hotter than his old place ran it, and after checking, we've had less scrap on the test casts we cooled down a bit. Anyone else tweaked their standard temps lately and seen a change?

Thought the same until our scrap rate dropped.

Listen to the new guy, he's probably onto something. We dropped our temps a few years back after a similar tip and saw way less warping. Sometimes the standard numbers just get baked in and nobody questions them.
