    Casting is a manufacturing process where liquid material is poured into a mold and solidifies. It is used to make complex shapes easily. The main types of casting are sand casting, die casting, investment casting, and continuous casting. Sand casting uses sand as the mold material and produces 70% of metal castings. Die casting forces molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity and is used for non-ferrous metals like zinc, copper, and aluminum. It has advantages of rapid production rates and casting low fluidity metals but has very high capital costs.

    WHAT IS CASTING ?

    •Casting is a manufacturing process by


    which a liquid material is poured into a
    mould, which contains a hollow cavity of the
    desired shape and then allowed to solidify.
    •Casting is often used to make complex
    shapes that would be otherwise difficult to
    make by other methods.
    TYPES OF CASTING
    There are four major types of Casting.
    1. Sand casting
    2. Die casting
    3. Investment Casting
    4. Continuous Casting
    SAND CASTING
    • Sand casting also known as sand molded
    casting is a metal casting process
    characterized by using sand as the mold
    material.
    • Sand casting are produced in factories called
    foundries. 70% of the metal casting is
    produced by sand casting .
    BASIC PROCESS
    ADVANTAGS AND DISADVANTAGES
    ADVANTAGES:-
    1- Low Cost 
    2- No skilled operators needed 
    3- Equipments are cheap and easy to deal with. 
    4- Suitable for few small production rates 
    5- Can produce large (very large) castings
    DISADVANTAGES :-
    1- bad surface finish, due to sand indentation and
    oxidizing medium ..etc. 
    2- Many defects arise in the casting (no good control
    on the process , die casting is much better) 
    DIE CASTING
    • Die casting is a metal casting process that
    is characterized by forcing molten metal
    under high pressure into a mold cavity.
    Most die castings are made from non
    ferrous metals, specially zinc, copper,
    aluminium and tin based alloy . Depending
    on the type of metal being cast , a hot or
    cold chamber machine is used.

    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

    ADVANTAGES:-
    1) Rapid Production Rates
    2) Casting of low fluidity metals

    DISADVANTAGES:-
    3) Very high capital cost
    4) High fluidity metals
