What is casting?

Processing flow: Liquid metal –> mold filling –> solidification & contraction –> casting

The method of producing blanks or parts by pouring liquid metal into a moulding cavity having a shape identical to the shape and size of the part and leaving them to cool down for solidification, is generally called the forming or casting of liquid metal.

Processing characteristics:

1. Being able to produce any piece with complicated shapes, especially in cavity.

2. Strong adaptability, unlimited categories of alloy, non-restricted size of casting.

3. Wide source of materials, scraps that can be re-melted, low cost in equipment.

4. High proportion of scraps, low surface quality, poor labor condition.
