Casting is a process where molten metal is poured into a mold to form a product. The flexibility in shapes is a key feature of casting, as it allows the creation of complex shapes by pouring molten metal into a mold. Post-casting processes often include forging, cutting, and heat treatment.
Products manufactured by casting are commonly referred to as castings. The technique dates back to around 4000 BC in Mesopotamia, initially with copper.
Castings are widely used for various materials and applications:
Additionally, nickel alloys are used for turbine blades and valve bodies, titanium alloys for pacemakers and artificial joints, magnesium alloys for laptop bodies and cell phones, and zinc alloys for door knobs and connector parts.
Casting starts with melting the material in an electric furnace, followed by pouring it into a mold and allowing it to harden. After cooling, the casting is removed from the mold.
Types of casting methods include:
Continuous casting, predominantly used in the steel industry, allows for the continuous manufacturing of products from molten metal, differing from batch production in normal casting processes.
