Casting technique for light metal alloy

Light metal alloys such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc and etc. can be produced in the various forms by casting technique. The casting technique for aluminum is classified as mold casting either using a sand mold or permanent mold; or both. Aluminum alloys casting are the most versatile of all common foundry alloys and generally have the highest castability ratings. Aluminum is adaptable to many of the commonly used casting methods and can be readily cast in metal molds. This work is attempted to investigate the availability and reliability of casting technique in obtaining of finish product. (Author)
