Casting is a manufacturing process where liquid material is poured into a mold to solidify into a specified shape.
Casting involves pouring molten metal or other materials, such as plastic, into a mold cavity where it cools and solidifies into a pre-defined shape. This is a critical process in the manufacturing of components that require complex geometries or high levels of detail, and it is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics for producing engine parts, turbine blades, and housing units.
Aluminum engine blocks produced through permanent mold casting with dimensions of approximately 500 mm x 400 mm x 200 mm (19.68 in x 15.75 in x 7.87 in) and a final weight of 25 kg (55 lbs).
This is commonly used in the automotive industry to produce lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles.
Turbine blades manufactured using investment casting, achieving profile tolerance of ±0.05 mm (±0.002 in) to withstand high stress and temperature environments.
Commonly employed in the aerospace sector for manufacturing components with intricate details capable of operating under high thermal and mechanical stress.
