Casting process
Casting materials are usually metals.
Almost all metals can be cast.
Basic Features
Pattern: A pattern is made of wood or metal, is a replica of
casting cavity.
Types of moulds
The various casting processes are classified according
to these different moulds
open mould
closed mould
Types of moulds
Open mould
in which the liquid metal is simply
poured until it fills the open cavity. (fig. a)
Closed mould

Die casting:
o Die casting is permanent-mold casting
process in which the molten metal is
injected into mold cavity under high
pressure. The pressure is maintained
during solidification, after which the
mold is opened and part is removed.
o Typical pressures are 7 to 350 MPa.
o The molds used in this casting
operation is called dies; hence the
name die casting

o Good surface finish.
o Thin sections are possible.
o Rapid solidification.
