Metal casting blog provides articles that relate to the casting process, casting equipment, and metal foundry work. You will find a deep explanation of how a metal foundry work and the casting technique often in use.
In metal foundries, aluminum and its alloy are among the top casting materials due to their exceeding advantages over other metals. Aluminum alloy has ductility, high castability, high strength, and especially, high corrosion resistance in different environments and chemical agents. Aluminum’s corrosion resistance is created by an inert oxide film forming on a metal surface …
