About the Metal Casting Market
Metal casting is a manufacturing process in which molten or liquid metal is poured into a mold made of sand, metal, or ceramic that contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape. The desired shape allows holding of the molten metal and upon cooling, it forms complex geometrical parts. All major metals can be made into castings and the most common ones are iron, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, steel, and copper-based alloys. Metal castings find application in cars, trucks, planes, trains, mining and construction equipment, oil wells, pipes, toys, space shuttles, wind turbines, nuclear plants, and more.
