    In the performing arts industry such as theatre, film, or television, casting, or a casting call, is a pre-production process for selecting a certain type of actor, dancer, singer, or extra to land the role of a character in a script, screenplay, or teleplay.

  5. Die casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_casting

    Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. 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.

  6. Permanent mold casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_mold_casting

    Permanent mold casting. Permanent mold casting is a metal casting process that employs reusable molds ("permanent molds"), usually made from metal. The most common process uses gravity to fill the mold, however gas pressure or a vacuum are also used. A variation on the typical gravity casting process, called slush casting, produces

    Degassing [4] is a process that may be required to reduce the amount of hydrogen present in a batch of molten metal. Gases can form in metal castings in one of two ways: by physical entrapment during the casting process or; by chemical reaction in the cast material. Hydrogen is a common contaminant for most cast metals.
