A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fundamentals of metal casting

Fundamentals of metal casting focus on how a shaped cavity is formed, how molten metal is introduced into it, and how the metal solidifies to produce a useful component. For exams, you must master the basic casting sequence, the roles of the main mould and pattern elements, and the common causes of defects because these ideas explain both casting quality and process selection.
