  2. Die (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_(manufacturing)

    A die is a specialized machine tool used in manufacturing industries to cut and/or form material to a desired shape or profile. Stamping dies are used with a press, [1] as opposed to drawing dies (used in the manufacture of wire) and casting dies (used in molding) which are not. Like molds, dies are generally customized to the item they are ...

  3. Metal casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_casting

    The die casting process forces molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities (which are machined into dies). Most die castings are made from nonferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, and aluminium-based alloys, but ferrous metal die castings are possible. The die casting method is especially suited for applications where many small to ...

  4. Hindustani profanity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustani_profanity

    The Hindustani language employs a large number of profanities across the Hindi-speaking diaspora. Idiomatic expressions, particularly profanity, are not always directly translatable into other languages, and make little sense even when they can be translated.

  6. Die casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_casting

    The mold cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mold during the process. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminium, magnesium, lead, pewter, and tin-based alloys. Depending on the type of metal being cast, a hot ...

  7. Casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting

    The mold is a hollow cavity that includes the desired shape, but the mold also includes runners and risers that enable the metal to fill the mold. The mold and the metal are then cooled until the metal solidifies. The solidified part (the casting) is then recovered from the mold.

  8. Molding (process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_(process)

    A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material. [2] The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is a counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object.

  9. Moldmaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldmaker

    The term moldmaker may also be used to describe workers employed in fabricating dies and metal moulds for use in injection molding and die-casting, such as in the plastics, rubber or ceramics industries, in which case it is sometimes regarded as a branch of the trade of toolmaker. [2] The process of manufacturing molds is often highly automated.
