  2. Metal casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting

    Permanent mold casting is a metal casting process that employs reusable molds ("permanent molds"), usually made from metal. The most common process uses gravity to fill the mold. However, gas pressure or a vacuum are also used. A variation on the typical gravity casting process, called slush casting, produces hollow castings.

  3. Sprue (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprue_(manufacturing)

    It connects the pouring basin to the runner. In many cases it controls the flow of material into the mold. During casting or molding, the material in the sprue will solidify and need to be removed from the finished part. It is usually tapered downwards to minimize turbulence and formation of air bubbles.

  4. Ladle (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladle_(metallurgy)

    Lip-axis pouring is often used on molten metal pouring systems where there is a need to automate the process as much as possible and the operator controls the pouring operation at a remote distance. For bottom pour ladles, a stopper rod is inserted into a tapping hole in the bottom of the ladle.

  5. Metal casting simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting_simulation

    Casting process simulation is a computational technique used in industry and metallurgy to model and analyze the metal-casting process. This technology allows engineers to predict and visualize the flow of molten metal, crystallization patterns, and potential defects in the casting before the start of the actual production process .

  6. Foundry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundry

    Bronze poured from a crucible into a mold, using the lost-wax casting process. In a foundry, molten metal is poured into molds. Pouring can be accomplished with gravity, or it may be assisted with a vacuum or pressurized gas. Many modern foundries use robots or automatic pouring machines to pour molten metal.

  7. Directional solidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_solidification

    Directional solidification can be used as a purification process. Since most impurities will be more soluble in the liquid than in the solid phase during solidification, impurities will be "pushed" by the solidification front, causing much of the finished casting to have a lower concentration of impurities than the feedstock material, while the ...

  8. Pattern (casting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_(casting)

    In casting, a pattern is a replica of the object to be cast, used to form the sand mould cavity into which molten metal is poured during the casting process. Once the pattern has been used to form the sand mould cavity, the pattern is then removed, molten metal is then poured into the sand mould cavity to produce the casting.

  9. Pouring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouring

    Preparation of teh tarik involves pouring the tea at great height from one container to another repeatedly A foundry worker watching molten metal being poured out. Pouring is the act of tilting an open container which has liquid or bulk flowable solid inside of it, to cause the contents to flow out of the container under the influence of gravity.
