2. Metal casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting

   Metal casting. 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. The metal is poured into the mold through a hollow channel called a sprue.

3. Semi-solid metal casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-solid_metal_casting

   Semi-solid metal casting (SSM) is a near net shape variant of die casting. [1] The process is used today with non-ferrous metals, such as aluminium, copper, [2] and magnesium.

4. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

   An aluminium alloy (UK / IUPAC) or aluminum alloy (NA; see spelling differences) is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin, nickel and zinc. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further ...

5. Foundry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundry

   Foundry. A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal into a mold, and removing the mold material after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast iron.

6. Continuous casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_casting

   Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills.

7. Chvorinov's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvorinov's_rule

   Chvorinov's rule. Chvorinov's rule is a physical relationship that relates the solidification time for a simple casting to the volume and surface area of the casting. It was first expressed by Czech engineer Nicolas Chvorinov in 1940. [1][2]

8. Aluminium–copper alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–copper_alloys

   Duralumin is the oldest variety in this group and goes back to Alfred Wilm, who discovered it in 1903. Aluminium could only be used as a widespread construction material thanks to the aluminium-copper alloys, as pure aluminium is much too soft for this and other hardenable alloys such as aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloys (AlMgSi) or the naturally hard (non-hardenable) alloys.

9. Aluminium–silicon alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–silicon_alloys

   Aluminium–silicon alloys or Silumin is a general name for a group of lightweight, high-strength aluminium alloys based on an aluminum – silicon system (AlSi) that consist predominantly of aluminum - with silicon as the quantitatively most important alloying element. Pure AlSi alloys cannot be hardened, the commonly used alloys AlSiCu (with ...
