METAL CASTING
 Casting means a process, in which liquid metal is poured into a mould, that
contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to cool and
solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or
broken out of the mould to complete the process.

 Sand casting
 Sand casting, also known as sand moulded casting, is a metal casting process
characterized by using sand as the mould material.
 The term "sand casting" can also refer to an object produced via the sand
casting process.
 Sand castings are produced in specialized factories called foundries. Over
70% of all metal castings are produced via sand casting process.
 There are six steps in this process:
 Place a pattern in sand to create a mould.
 Incorporate the pattern and sand in a gating system.
 Remove the pattern.
 Fill the mould cavity with molten metal.
 Allow the metal to cool.
 Break away the sand mould and remove the casting.
