Basic Metal Casting

The process of casting (casting) is one of the techniques of making a product where the metal melted in a crucible then poured into the mold cavity which is similar to the original shape of the cast product to be made. Casting can also be interpreted as a manufacturing process that uses liquid metal and molds to produce parts with a form that approximates the shape of the final geometry of the finished product. Casting process itself can be divided into two kinds, namely traditional casting (traditional) and non-traditional (non-traditional).

Traditional techniques consist of:

1. Sand-Mold Casting

2. Dry-Sand Casting

3. Shell-Mold Casting

4. Full-Mold Casting

5. Cement-Mold Casting

6. Vacuum-Mold Casting

While non-traditional techniques are divided into:

1. High-Pressure Die Casting

2. Permanent Mold Casting-

3. Centrifugal Casting

4. Plaster Mold Casting-

5. Investment Casting

6. Solid-Ceramic Casting
