Description

The process through which a liquid material is delivered into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the intended shape, and then being allowed to cool is known as casting. It is generally used to produce sophisticated shapes which are difficult or uneconomical to make using other methods. Metals and other time setting materials are usually used for casting. It is used in the making of a variety of products such as bronze structures, concrete structures, collectible toys, weapons and tools. The traditional methods of casting are lost-wax casting, sand casting and plaster mold casting. The modern casting processes are classified into two categories, expendable and non-expendable casting. The topics included in this book on casting are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
