Spanish term or phrase: la colada
A pesar de que el nivel de inclusiones y la limpieza del material no representan una exigencia del comité al momento de realizar la procura de este tipo de componentes, es importante solicitar a los fabricantes ensayos metalográficos de lotes representativos de "la colada" con la que se fabricaron los pernos.
Esto garantizará que el fabricante trabaja con materiales de limpieza adecuada.
Un contenido alto de inclusiones puede tener influencia en la respuesta que ofrece un material ante un fenómeno de agrietamiento.

Es parte de un reporte de una evaluación superficial de pernos pertenecientes a un compresor. Viene de Venezuela.
Creo que se refiere a una limpieza...

Muchas gracias!

agree  psicutrinius: I would say a "cast" here: They refer to the process rather than the part: "casting" describes a PART made by casting molten metal inside a mould (in my view...)

  -> Thank you, psicutrinius. i was in doubt between 'cast' and 'casting'. Probably 'cast' fits better. Best :)
