  2. Ingot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingot

    Ingot molds are tapered to prevent the formation of cracks due to uneven cooling. A crack or void formation occurs as the liquid to solid transition has an associated volume change for a constant mass of material. The formation of these ingot defects may render the cast ingot useless and may need to be re-melted, recycled, or discarded.

  3. 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 .

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

    A hot top, also known as a feeder head, [5] is a specialized riser, used to help counteract the formation of pipes when casting ingots. It is essentially a live open riser, with a hot ceramic liner instead of just the mold materials. It is inserted into the top of the ingot mould near the end of the pour, and the rest of the metal is then ...

  5. Direct chill casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_chill_casting

    Direct Chill casting is a method for the fabrication of cylindrical or rectangular solid ingots from non-ferrous metals, especially Aluminum, Copper, Magnesium and their alloys. The original ingots are usually further processed by other methods (rolling, forging, etc.). More than half of global aluminum production uses the Direct Chill casting ...

  6. 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.

    Degassing [4] is a process that may be required to reduce the amount of hydrogen present in a batch of molten metal. Gases can form in metal castings in one of two ways: by physical entrapment during the casting process or; by chemical reaction in the cast material. Hydrogen is a common contaminant for most cast metals.

    The mold usually has a draft to ease the removal of the casting. Français : Morphologie cristalline typique d'un lingot : structure colonnaire à l'extérieur, puis structure dendritique, et structure équiaxe au cœur, avec une retassure sur le dessus — le profil du moule est normalement trapézoïdal, afin de pouvoir démouler le lingot
