  2. 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. Prior to the introduction of continuous casting in the 1950s, steel was poured into stationary molds to form ingots .

  3. Metal casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting

    Continuous casting is used due to the lower costs associated with continuous production of a standard product, and also increased quality of the final product. Metals such as steel, copper, aluminum and lead are continuously cast, with steel being the metal with the greatest tonnages cast using this method.

  4. Lost-wax casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost-wax_casting

    Lost-wax casting – also called investment casting, precision casting, or cire perdue (French: [siʁ pɛʁdy]; borrowed from French) [1] – is the process by which a duplicate sculpture (often a metal, such as silver, gold, brass, or bronze) is cast from an original sculpture. Intricate works can be achieved by this method.

    Vacuum pressure casting (VPC), properly referred to as vacuum assist direct pour, uses gas pressure and a vacuum to improve the quality of the casting and minimize porosity. Typically VPC machines consist of an upper and a lower chamber—the upper chamber, or melting chamber, housing the crucible, and the lower casting chamber housing the ...

    In addition to the main aspects of casting production – filling, crystallization, and porosity prediction, ProCAST is capable of predicting the occurrence of deformations and residual stresses in the casting and can be used to analyze processes such as core making, centrifugal casting, lost wax casting, continuous casting.

    For example, the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro is a copper alloy casting that most likely utilizes the lost wax technique. [4] Lost wax casting can be dated back to 4000 BC or the Chalcolithic period. [4] One of the oldest studied examples of this technique is a 6,000-year-old amulet from the Indus Valley Civilisation.

  9. Pattern (casting) - Wikipedia

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

    It is a replica of the desired casting—usually in a slightly larger size to offset the contraction of the intended metal. Gated patterns connect a number of loose patterns together with a series of runners that will be detached after shake-out. Segmented or multi-piece patterns create a casting in several pieces to be joined in post-processing.
