Applications :
New casting processes are introduced in order to expand and enhance the adequacies of foundries in more commercial and technical
applications. Thorough research and various technologies like solidification, molten metal processing technology, new property
development have provided the foundry man with the tools of cost effective and reliable construction technologies, which can fulfill
specified requirements of the industry. In recent times, aluminum alloys have been casted in innumerable compositions including :
Composite mold
Plaster mold
Green sand
Dry sand
Investment casting permanent mold
Pressure die casting
Counter gravity low pressure casting

Factors :
The selection criteria for manufacturing a specific aluminum alloy part is based on various factors. The most important are :
Feasibility: Although several aluminum alloy castings can be manufactured by any of the method, still in certain cases design features
or dimensions of components automatically ascertain the most appropriate casting process.
Quality factor: The word quality refers to degree of soundness which means freedom from porosity, cracking and surface
imperfections and mechanical properties that stands for mainly strength and ductility.
Cost factor
Usually, bigger casting parts are made through sand casting as metal molds normally weigh from 10 to 100 times as much as the
components they manufacture. Where as, small casting parts are fabricated using metal molds that assure dimensional accuracy of the
casting they produce. In die casting process, large and high cooling rates results in air to be trapped in the casting. This procedure
produces high amount of porosity at center of casted products. Though, R&D has been done to find a way for lowering the porosity but
this is also the true fact that it is impossible to eradicate entire porosity. Thus, die casting products are lower in strength as compared to
low-pressure or gravity-fed permanent mold castings that have slower cooling rates, but produce strong components.
