Applications

The foundry industry utilizes a diverse array of casting processes to manufacture castings in various sizes and complexities. Among these, eight casting methods stand out as the most common, each suited for specific applications and production requirements.

Learn more about these eight key casting processes and explore the wide range of specialised products that Foseco supplies to support and optimise each of them, helping foundries improve efficiency, quality, and sustainability in their operations.

All casting processes

HPDC systems are highly automated for rapid cycle times (under a minute). Unlike low-pressure or gravity die casting, insulating refractory linings aren't used—high heat transfer is required to cool castings quickly.
