Mold design & surface analysis of casted material

Casting is a manufacturing process where a solid is melted, heated to proper temperature, and is then poured into a cavity or mold, which contains it in the proper shape during solidification. Casting process generally is classified as expendable mold or permanent mold. These researches consist of d...
