The main types of metal molding

There are several methods for metal molding. They are selected depending on the type of metals, the type of workpieces that need to be obtained, production characteristics, etc. There are 4 main types of metal molding:

• Static casting. It is the simplest method, in which the metal is poured into a special mold and left to solidify.
• Injection molding. The metal is poured under a certain pressure. This method allows good molding precision and high surface quality.
• Centrifugal molding. The metal is poured into special molds that rotate. This technology is used for the manufacture of blanks with cavities (for example, pipes).
• Vacuum molding. It is carried out in a vacuum, which avoids the presence of gases in the metal.

The molding method is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Various additives can be added to the raw material to change the properties of the final product.
