What is the difference between cast aluminum and aluminum die cast?
Casting aluminum is when the metal is poured into a mold. Die casting is when you inject the molten metal into a mold to make more detailed parts. Die casting is more commonly done with zinc.
What is the difference between gravity die casting and die casting?
Die casting is done by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold. Gravity die casting is a simpler method in which molten metal is poured into the mold rather than using force and high pressure. Gravity die casting is mostly used for only simple shapes, while die casting can be used for much more complex ones.
A process in which molten metal is poured into a mold and allowed to harden.?
Casting
What is meant by pressure die casting?
Pressure die casting is the term used when metal is forced under high pressure into a die casting mold or die. The die casting process in USA is "pressure die casting" but referred to simply as "die casting" refer to http://www.kineticdiecasting.com/what-is-die-casting.html
What is used for purification of metal for casting?
The use of a flux to purify metals is a simple, brute force chemical separation hence it helps in the casting process.
How is metal casting done?
Casting is the process of pouring liquid metal into a mold. The metal cools and takes the shape of the mold.
What is the word for the meaning 'a flexible strand of metal'?
flexible strand of metal = wire
What are application of cast iron ingot molds?
Casting small ingots, as the name implies. Big ingots are more likely to be cast in sand molds. The reason you'd want to cast ingots, or blocks of metal, is because that's how raw metal is sold and delivered. And because the metal business at the level where you're dealing with ingots is very customizable, you at the car company can call me at the steel company and order 20,000 kilograms of iron alloy with x amount of silicon, x amount of manganese, x amount of copper and x amount of aluminum alloyed into it, give me a delivery date and have a massive block of that exact mixture show up on your loading dock on the date you asked for it.
How are the steel ingots made into sheet metal tube metal?
they are being cold rolled to make bars
Difference between die casting and sand casting?
Sand Casting-is a cast part produced by forming a mold with the help of a model or pattern pressed into a sand mixture and then removed. Die Casting- is the process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities (which are machined into dies).
How casting is done?
Metal casting can be done thro sand casting ,investment casting , pressure die casting methods
What are types of casting?
Two popular types of casting include: metal casting and concrete casting. However, there's also resin casting as well as iron casting.
What is casting wax?
wax casting is making the original(or other metal) figure.
Difference between forging and casting?
Castings will have advantage over forg-ings for three conditions is met:a unique metal composition is required;the part is relatively large or complex;stresses may be multi-axial.castings: metal that has been melted, poured into a mold and solidified. In the casting process at the foundry, because the mold has the shape of the desired component, all that remains to be done after casting are the various finishing operations.forgings, the first shape is an ingot or continuously cast billet. Ingots are large, usually rectangular in form and weigh up to several tons. Ingots or continuously cast billets are forged into shapes by hammers or presses. Extensive machining to final configuration usually is required, and welding also may be necessary before finishing operations can begin.
What is the process sand casting used for?
Sand casting is used for molding metal shapes and objects. The reason this is called sand casting is because sand is used as a mold. Sand casting is favored by most metal manufacturers because the process of sand casting is very cheap.
What is the difference between die casting and pressure die casting?
In sand mold casting the molten metal is poured in to the mold cavity , while in pressure die casting the molten metal is forced under high pressure in to the cavity. The sand casting process is used for small batch production where pressure die casting is used for mass production.
What is the difference between Foundry and casting?
forging is shaped the metal by press from the hammer or press machine. casting is shaped the metal when the metal become liquidity. forgings have better quality and strengh than castings.
