Course details

Metal Casting is a manufacturing process that involves pouring molten metal into a mold to produce a desired shape. This course covers the fundamental principles and techniques of metal casting, including:

1. Casting processes: Sand casting, investment casting, die casting, and other casting methods.

2. Materials: Properties and applications of casting metals (aluminum, steel, iron, etc.).

3. Mold design: Principles of mold design, mold materials, and mold making.

4. Melting and pouring: Furnace operations, melting practices, and pouring techniques.

5. Solidification and cooling: Understanding solidification processes and cooling rate effects.

6. Defect prevention and correction: Identifying and addressing common casting defects.

7. Quality control: Inspection, testing, and evaluation of castings.

8. Applications: Case studies of metal casting in various industries (automotive, aerospace, etc.).
