Can i use high impact polystyrene for lost foam casting?
No. High impact polystyrene is a very hard plastic. If you tried doing a lost-foam casting you'd just make a mess.You make a lost-foam casting by creating a styrofoam model of your finished piece, packing casting sand around it to create a mold, then pouring metal into the mold. When the hot metal touches the foam, it vaporizes.You could make your model out of high impact polystyrene then use that to create a cope and drag mold.
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 would make a better reflector a piece of metal or a piece of wood?
Metal
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
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.

How casting is done?
Metal casting can be done thro sand casting ,investment casting , pressure die casting methods
What are types of casting?

What is casting wax?
wax casting is making the original(or other metal) figure.
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.
What is gravity die casting?
It is process of making Alu. zinc component die. and material flows in die by Gravity force only no external pressure applied as Pressure Die Casting. Gravity casting is the liquid metal in the Earth's gravity into the casting process, also known as gravity pouring casting. The generalized gravity casting include sand casting, metal casting, investment casting, lost foam casting, clay mold casting; narrow-defined gravity casting refers to the metal casting. uses the force of gravity, to fill a permanent mold, or die, with molten material. It does not use the high-pressure method to form the casting. It will ensure that there will not be any clusters formed during this gravity casting process. The method has advantages like cost effective, good quality, and process control over other casting techniques.
What is pressure casting?
where you ram metal into a mould lol
