Metal casting (also known as liquid molding) is a shaping method that involves melting metal and casting it into a pre-made mold (allowing the liquid metal to solidify into a casting container) to obtain metal products with certain shapes and properties after solidification. Liquid molding is one of the earliest manufacturing processes. Despite its hundreds of years of history, making it no longer mysterious, it remains a fundamental forming technique. Castings have the advantages of low production cost, high process flexibility, and strong adaptability. They are suitable for producing castings of different materials, shapes, and weights, and are suitable for mass production. However, the disadvantages include large tolerances (the difference between the maximum and minimum limit sizes), the possibility of internal defects, and the need for more materials and equipment. In addition, casting production generates dust, harmful gases, and noise, thereby polluting the environment.

Castings are characterized by low production costs, high process flexibility, and adaptability. They are suitable for producing castings of various materials, shapes, and weights and are suitable for mass production. The drawbacks are large tolerances (the largest limit size minus the smallest limit size), the possibility of internal defects, and the need for more materials and equipment. At the same time, casting production generates dust, harmful gases, and noise, thus polluting the environment.
