Molten metal before casting Casting iron in a sand mold. In metalworking and jewelry making, casting is a process in which a liquid metal is delivered into a mold (usually by a crucible) that contains a negative impression (i.e., a three-dimensional negative image) of the intended shape.
Affination is a largely obsolete process of removing silver from gold using concentrated sulfuric acid. [4] The Acidless Separation (ALS) has been investigated to pre-refine doré and jewelry alloys even when there is high silver content, which is normally a problem for existing chemical pre-refinement processes. The metals are separated by ...

A 'triblet' is a type of mandrel found in jewelry manufacturing [1] that is not inserted into or held by a machine. Such mandrels vary in sizes and shapes, from small tapered metal rods (ring mandrels) to freestanding metal conic sections (used for making bracelets). Unlike with mechanical mandrels, the process is performed by hand.
