Metal Technologies has compiled a small glossary to help you familiarize yourself with the language of metal casting. Please select a range of terms from the menu at the left for listings of common metal casting terms and definitions.
Investment Casting: Method of casting using an expendable pattern of wax, plastic, or other material which is "invested" or surrounded by a molding medium in slurry or liquid form. After the molding medium has solidified, the pattern is removed by subjecting the mold to heat, leaving a cavity for reception of molten metal. Also called lost-wax molding.
Isocure: Trade name of a binder system developed for use in the cold box process of core construction.
