Metal casting is a manufacturing process in which metal (molten or liquid) is poured into a mold made of sand or ceramic plaster. The mold contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape to form geometrically complex parts. Metal casting finds application in planes, trains, mining, construction, electrical equipment, oil wells, pipes, toys, space shuttles, wind turbines, and nuclear plants.
