Aluminum–the Metal

Aluminum shaped. Aluminum is a metal extracted naturally in the earth’s crust. It is silvery grey. It is light in weight. It is not a magnetic metal. It does not shine but it was once measured more valuable than gold. It is plentiful but reactive and has to be extracted from ore.

After being extracted, this metal is practical in a wide range of industrial applications. Aluminum cast parts are found in an incredible number of our day-to-day appliances and equipment. It is used in car pistons, aircraft components, marine hardware, machine tool parts, lawnmower gear and housings, streetlamp housings, lighting fixtures, typewriter frames, dental equipment, frying skillets, golfing products, guitar amps, and aluminum hardware brackets. This metal has particular properties that make it ideal for use in all kinds of metal casting procedures. The aluminum casting process consist of die casting, sand casting, permanent mold casting, composite mold casting, continuous mold casting, investment casting, centrifugal casting, plaster casting, and hot isostatic pressing

Furthermore, Casting is a way of manufacturing that enables group production in an easy, non-expensive way. It uses: a mold, a pattern, release agents, sealers, and castable material. Viscous substances that can be put into a mold are ideal for this. When the substance sets or cures it takes the shape of the mold. This is how aluminum part castings are created. Many other metals that can be shaped in this way such as: tin, lead, zinc, copper, and silver. Non-metals used as cast able material are concrete, plastic resins, plaster of paris, and wax.
