Casting is the process of pouring hot, melted metal into a sand mold to form various shapes and parts. Such is the case of grey iron sand casting, which will be the focus of this lesson as we discuss how it works and why it is one of the most common methods of making things.

Grey iron sand casting | The process of taking the metal parts Hot iron is first melted and then, poured into a sand mold. The mold is created when sand is compacted around a model that represents what will ultimately be manufactured. Once the melted iron has been poured in the mold, it is allowed to cool down and solidify. The sand mold is then broken apart to reveal the metal part inside.
