•Open mould
in which the liquid metal is simply
poured until it fills the open cavity. (fig. a)
•Closed mould
the closed mold is provided to permit the
molten metal to flow from outside the mold cavity.

• the closed mold is more important categories in
production casting operation.
Casting process divide onto two broad categories
according to types of mold used;
o Die casting
o Centrifugal casting
Die casting:
o Die casting is permanent-mold casting process
in which the molten metal is injected into
mold cavity under high pressure. The pressure
is maintained during solidification, after
which the mold is opened and part is
removed.
o Typical pressures are 7 to 350 MPa.
o The molds used in this casting operation is
called dies; hence the name die casting
Die casting:
Two types of die casting machines that
