[Kelly Coffield] makes intake manifolds for old Ford throttle bodies for fun, demonstrating an excellent technique for making such things in the small shop. The mould patterns are CNC machined from a ...

Watch molten aluminum transform into stunning custom shapes with this complete DIY casting tutorial. From melting scrap metal ...

Gravity casting aluminum in permanent molds beats conventional sand and pressure die casting. Today, gravity-fed permanent metal molds can produce near-net-shape parts from a variety of aluminum ...

Water cooling was once only the preserve of hardcore casemodders and overclockers. Today, it’s pretty routinely used in all sorts of performance PC builds. However, few are using large artistic ...

You can melt down almost any kind of aluminum—cans, even—but a piece that has already been cast (such as a water pump, wheel, or intake manifold) will have an alloy that's better suited for casting.

Electric vehicle maker reportedly testing rapid casting as replacement for cold metal stamping. Tesla is reportedly testing a new aluminum casting method in the production of its Model Y vehicle.

Aluminium / Aluminum alloys have strong corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. These alloys tend to lose some of their strength at high temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 ...

Direct chill (DC) casting is an industrially significant method for producing high-quality aluminium alloy ingots. In this process, molten alloy is poured into a water‐cooled mould, where controlled ...

Metal Exchange Corp. (MEC), with headquarters in St. Louis, says it is reorganizing its secondary aluminum casting capacity and rebranding its secondary cast product lines at its Pennex Aluminum Co.

Aluminium / Aluminum alloys have high electrical conductivity and strong corrosion resistance. They tend to lose some of their strength at elevated temperatures ranging between 200 and 250°C (392 and ...
