As detailed by Metal Exponents in their article “6 Methods of Metal Casting,” the process of shaping molten metal into functional components plays a foundational role across industries today. From automotive parts to industrial machinery, metal casting remains one of the most cost-effective ways to produce complex metal components.
The core principle of metal casting involves pouring molten metal into a mold, allowing it to cool and harden into a new shape. The article groups casting methods into two primary types: reusable molds and expendable molds. Reusable molds are used for metals with lower melting points—such as zinc, aluminum, tin, and copper—to preserve the mold’s structure.
