2. Sprue (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

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

   A sprue is a large diameter vertical channel through which liquid material is introduced into a mold. 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 ...

4. Metal casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting

   Shell molding is similar to sand casting, but the molding cavity is formed by a hardened "shell" of sand instead of a flask filled with sand. The sand used is finer than sand casting sand and is mixed with a resin so that it can be heated by the pattern and hardened into a shell around the pattern. Because of the resin and finer sand, it gives ...

5. Cope and drag - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cope_and_drag

   The pattern is lifted from the sand, leaving a molding cavity. A passageway for metal to enter the mold, called a "gate", is then cut from the sprue hole to the void left by the pattern, and a runner is cut from the sand to allow metal to flow into the riser. The flask is then put back together, and metal can be poured into the mold.

6. Riser (casting) - Wikipedia

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

   A bronze casting showing the sprue and risers. A riser, also known as a feeder, [1] is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due to shrinkage.Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling, which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.

7. Injection moulding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_moulding

   Injection moulding (U.S. spelling: injection molding) is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould, or mold. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including metals (for which the process is called die-casting ), glasses , elastomers , confections , and most commonly ...
