Casting

Synopsis
Explores the range of casting processes, arranging them into three categories: expendable mould/reusable pattern processes; expendable mould/expendable pattern processes; permanent mould/no pattern processes. Discusses the benefits and limitations of each casting process, including sand casting, plaster-mould casting, ceramic-mould casting, investment casting, evaporative-foam casting, permanent-mould casting, die casting, and centrifugal casting. Explains how part size, part configuration, part quantity, required tolerances and the metal specified determine the best casting processes to choose. Shows how various pattern and mould types are produced and how cores function in the casting process.
