The die casting process forces molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities (which are machined into dies). Most die castings are made from nonferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, and aluminium-based alloys, but fer...

The sand casting process involves creating a mold from a three-dimensional sand pattern, then filling the mold cavity with molten metal, which is then cooled and solidified.

1. Mold cavity is produced having the desired shape and size of the part. Takes shrinkage into account. Single-use or permanent mold 2. Melting process. Provides molten material at the proper temperature 3. Pouring technique. M...
