Mold Shift during Casting Process
There are several problems that arise throughout the Process of casting that can lead to failed castings. While some errors are typically no one’s fault, including shrinkage and porosity issues. These problems occur as a result of the defects found within the metal itself, like gases that are trapped within it. However, there are errors… Continue reading Mold Shift during Casting Process
Points on the sustainability of Cast Iron
Cast Iron, though one of the oldest engineering materials in the world is popular in the casting industry for its sustainability and environmental impact. Here are a few points on the sustainability of cast iron: Cast Iron does not rust; it simply oxidises, and that too, very slowly. This is why it is good for… Continue reading Points on the sustainability of Cast Iron
