Metal casting involves pouring liquid metal into a mold to produce parts of a desired shape. The key steps are melting metal to create a liquid, pouring it into a mold to achieve a solid shape as it cools and extracts heat, and then removing the solidified part from the mold. The quality of castings depends on factors like the flow of molten metal into the mold, the solidification and cooling process, and the type of mold material used. Common casting methods include sand casting, die casting, and investment casting.
