Abstract This chapter covers the practices and procedures used for shape casting metals and alloys. It begins with a review of the factors that influence solidification and contribute to the formation of casting defects. It then describes basic melting methods, including induction, cupola, crucible, and vacuum melting, and common casting techniques such as sand casting, plaster and shell casting, evaporative pattern casting, investment casting, permanent mold casting, cold and hot chamber die casting, squeeze casting, semisolid metal processing, and centrifugal casting.

Aluminium merupakan logam ringan yang mempunyai sifat ketahanan korosi dan mampu alir yang baik sehingga banyak digunakan dalam aplikasi alat-alat rumah tangga, otomotif maupun industri saat ini. Piston bekas digunakan untuk mendapatkan unsur Si yang cukup tinggi pada piston. Ilmu pengecoran logam terus berkembang dengan pesat dalam dunia industri. Berbagai macam metode pengecoran telah ditemukan dan disempurnakan, diantaranya centrifugal casting , investment casting, dan sand casting serta masih banyak lagi metode-metode lainnya. Paduan Aluminium akan dicor pada 3 jenis variasi suhu cetakan sehingga dengan perlakuan panas terhadap cetakan logam (dies) yaitu 450oC dan 500oC diharapkan mampu memperbaiki sifat getas yang ada pada aluminium. Temperatur dari variasi pemanasan suhu cetakan logam (die casting) dapat mempengaruhi dari sifat mekanik atau nilai kekuatan tarik dari suatu bahan dalam pembebanan dan sifat fisik atau stukturmikro  pada paduan alumunium hasil peleburan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pengujian tarik dimana hasil pengujian maksimun terjadi pada pemanasan suhu cetakan 450˚C yang menghasilkan tegangan tarik maksimun rata-rata sebesar 774,74 N/mm2. Pengujian struktur mikro dengan hasil metalografi diperoleh stuktur mikro silikon austenit yang berbentuk jarum dan silikon primer yang berbentuk partikel kecil yang akan meningkatkan ketahanan aus material.Kata kunci : Aluminium, Cetakan logam (dies), Sifat Mekanik-Fisis, Paduan

TiAl-based alloy valves were manufactured by combining charges compressed /vacuum arc melting (VA)/ induction skull melting (ISM) procedure with permanent mold centrifugal casting method. Microstructures, compositions and mechanical properties of as-cast and hot isostatical pressed (HIPed) valves are detected. Results show that the permanent mold centrifugal casting process obviously refines the size of grain in TiAl alloy and the tensile strength of as-cast and HIPed valves are 550MPa and 580MPa at 20°C, 370MPa and 470MPa at 815°C, respectively. As-cast specimens show ~0% elongation at 20°C and 1~2% at 815°C, while HIPed ones show an elongation of 1~2% at room temperature and about 10% at 815°C. Furthermore, a 200-hour test was carried out with CA4GE-engine, which demonstrated the possibility of as-cast TiAl alloy valves for the substitution of present steel ones.

The structural feature and technical indexes of 2A14 aluminum alloy connecting rod was analyzed. The pouring system of gravity die-casting process was initially designed according to the technical requirements. The gravity filling and solidification stages in the permanent mold were simulated by ProCAST. The simulation results show that the casting defects are predicted and the casting process are improved. The most possible section of crack defects are the transition part between the shaft and the connecting rod small or big end.

At present, pulley produced in China has been able to meet the demand of domestic and international markets. But there are many problem of the pulley industry in our country, such as too many production enterprises and the low level of export products. And as components of drive system are light weight and raw material price of pulley casting are rising, manufacturing requirements of the pulley are also more and more high. Aiming at the casting defects of pulley that enterprise current product, pulley casting blank model of common material HT250 be made by three-dimension software, numerical simulation of filling and solidification process for pulley sand casting by the casting simulation software Procast, the size and location of the various casting defects were forecasted and analyzed, reflecting the pulley filling and solidification process of the actual situation, due to the thicker pulley rim and less heat dissipation, position of shrinkage is close to the middle of rim [, a method of eliminating defects is proposed to realize sequential solidification, and thus to minimize porosity shrinkage and improve casting performance and reduce casting time and reduce production costs.
