3Wood's metal — Wood s metal, also known as Lipowitz s alloy or by the commercial names cerrobend, bendalloy, pewtalloy or MCP 158, is a eutectic, fusible alloy with a melting point of approximately 70 °C (158 °F). It is a eutectic alloy of… …
4Type metal — The term type metal (sometimes called hot metal ) represents a range of metal alloys that are used in traditional typefounding and mechanical typesetting. History Although the knowledge of casting soft metals in moulds was well established before …
5Sand casting — Sand casting, also known as sand molded casting, is a metal casting process characterized by using sand as the mold material. It is relatively cheap and sufficiently refractory even for steel foundry use. A suitable bonding agent (usually clay)… …
6founding — Process of pouring molten metal into a mold. When the metal solidifies, the result is a casting, a metal object conforming to that shape. Multitudinous metal objects are molded at some point during their manufacture. Modern foundries capable of… …

8Powder metallurgy — is the process of blending fine powdered materials, pressing them into a desired shape (compacting), and then heating the compressed material in a controlled atmosphere to bond the material (sintering). The powder metallurgy process generally… …
9Casting defect — A casting defect is an irregularity in the metal casting process that is undesired. Some defects can be tolerated while others can be repaired otherwise they must be eliminated. They are broken down into five main categories: gas porosity,… …
10Spin casting — or Centrifugal Rubber Mold Casting (CRMC) is a method of utilizing centrifugal force to produce castings from a rubber mold. Typically, a disc shaped mold is spun along its central axis at a set speed. The casting material, usually molten metal… …
