What Is Casting?

Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold that contains a cavity of the desired shape and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as the casting, which is ejected or broken from the mold to complete the process.
Casting is most commonly used to create complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult or uneconomical to make using other methods. Heavy equipment such as machine tool beds, ship propellers, etc. can be easily cast to the size required instead of having several small pieces joined together.
