In this video, I demonstrate an easy method for making sand casting flasks using inexpensive tongue and groove boards while casting custom knobs for an upcoming project. The use of tongue and groove ...

Kimura Group, a global leader in casting innovation with nearly 100 years of foundry expertise, announced the launch of its ...

Pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds to make metal parts is the basis behind both sand and investment casting. But there are significant differences between these two methods. In sand ...

You can melt down almost any kind of aluminum—cans, even—but a piece that has already been cast (such as a water pump, wheel, or intake manifold) will have an alloy that's better suited for casting.

That process in turn utilizes a technique known as sand casting, in which molten metal is poured into a mold made of sand and a bonding agent such as clay. In this case, an inert gas is then pumped ...

Today, gravity-fed permanent metal molds can produce near-net-shape parts from a variety of aluminum alloys. But it's up to the designer to makes sure it's both possible and profitable to use ...
