    The document discusses various metal casting processes. It describes manufacturing as turning raw materials into finished goods using tools, labor, machinery and chemical processing. It then discusses sand casting, which uses sand molds and is commonly used for casting metals with high melting temperatures like steel. Die casting is also discussed, where molten metal is forced into steel molds called dies under high pressure, allowing for high-volume production of parts. The key steps of die casting are preparing the mold, injecting molten metal, ejecting the newly formed part, and separating scrap metal. It is called die casting because it uses steel molds called dies.

    ACTIVITY # 1

    1. What are the basic activities in manufacturing process? Explain and attached 1
    example of an image of manufacturing process.

    -Manufacturing is the process of turning raw materials or parts into finished goods
    through the use of tools, human labor, machinery, and chemical processing.

    2. What is sand casting? Attached 1 example of an image of schematic


    representation of sand casting process and explained.

    - The traditional method of casting metals is using sand molds, and has been done
    for millennia. Sand casting is still the most prevalent form of casting, led by China
    (about 45 million metrictons per year), followed by India and the U.S. Typical
    applications of sand casting include machine bases, large turbine impellers,
    propellers, and plumbing fixtures.
    - Parts manufactured using sand casting come in a wide range of sizes and weights
    and have complex geometries using a variety of metals. The use of sand as the
    casting material significantly reduces the cost of the casting process. In the metal
    mold process, the machining of the molds accounts for a large portion of the costs.
    With sand casting, the type of sand used in the process depends on whether the sand
    will be reused or disposed of. In green sand sand casting, the molds are reusable
    while in the dry sand casting process, the sand is thrown away.
    Sand casting is used for metals with high melting temperatures, such as titanium,
    steels, and nickel and is the only casting process that can work with those materials.
    It is the choice of the aerospace and automotive industries for producing low cost,
    small series parts.

    3. What is die casting?

    -The die-casting process, developed in the early 1900s, is a further example of


    permanent-mold casting. Typical parts made by die casting are housings for
    transmissions, business machine and appliance components, hand-tool components,
    and toys. The weight of most castings typically ranges from less than 90 g to about
    25 kg. Equipment costs, particularly the cost of dies, are somewhat high, but labor
    costs are generally low when the process is semi- or fully automated. In the die-
    casting process, molten metal is forced into the die cavity at pressures ranging from
    0.7 to 700 MPa. Die casting (or Pressure die casting) is essentially permanent mould
    casting in which pressure forces the molten metal into the mould cavity. However,
    the mould used is much more expensive (it is called a “die”) and a complex machine
    is employed to produce casting at a very high rate. If the molten metal is forced into
    a metallic die under a gravity head (as done in sand cavity) the process is known as
    “Gravity die casting” or “Permanent mould casting”. The mould is normally called
    a metallic die with two halves. One half is fixed and the other is movable. Die
    materials like medium carbon, low alloys, hot steels are used. The die carries all
    details required on the casting and then molten metal is forced into the cavity. Die is
    cooled by circulating water to increase the life (of die).

    4. What is die casting step by step process?

    - To recap, high-pressure die casting generally consists of four steps: preparing


    the mold, injecting the mold with molten metal, ejecting the newly created cavity
    from the mold, and separating scrap metal from the cavity.
    5. Why it is call die-cast? Attached 1 example of an image of die casting?

    - Die casting is a type of metal casting that uses the process of forcing molten
    metal into two steel dies that make up a cast. Die casting is typically used in a high-
    volume production setting and is known for producing a high-quality, consistent
    product.
