One known technique involves predicting the volume of a finished combustion chamber from a raw cylinder head casting... In this method, laser scanning is used to create a computer model of the cylinder head geometry. A computer technique called "virtual machining" is then used to emulate the real world machining process and transform the computer model of the raw casting to that of a finished combustion chamber. 1, record 1, English, - virtual%20machining

The size and vigor of the animals determined the casting method. Small and weak animals were cast on concrete floors by lifting a foreleg followed by pushing, or simply by twisting the head of the animal and then binding the legs with rope.

Method of casting which produces parts to exact or close to final finish and dimensions. A precise wax or plastic pattern of the part is coated with a ceramic slurry, dried and then fired at a high temperature. Firing fuses the ceramic into a shell mold and at the same time melts and entirely vaporizes the wax pattern. Molten metal is poured into the mold and allowed to harden. The mold is removed by cracking, chipping, or sand-blasting and a precise metal duplicate of the wax pattern emerges. 1, record 14, English, - investment%20casting

Procédé de moulage qui produit des pièces ayant un fini et des dimensions à peu près exacts. Un modèle précis de la pièce, en cire ou en plastique, est enduit de ciment de céramique, séché puis chauffé à haute température. La chauffe cuit la céramique pour en faire un moule, faisant par le fait même fondre et vaporiser le modèle de cire. On verse du métal en fusion dans le moule et on laisse durcir. On enlève le moule par cassage, par burinage ou à l'aide d'un jet de sable et on obtient une réplique du modèle de cire. 1, record 14, French, - moulage%20%C3%A0%20cire%20perdue

Casting method in which molten metal is poured slowly into a special water-cooled mold, the bottom of which is slowly lowered as solidification progresses. Rate of pouring is adjusted to equal the rate of withdrawal of the solidified billet from the underside of the mold. 1, record 16, English, - semi%2Dcontinuous%20casting

The full-mold or cavityless process is a relatively new proprietary method of making metal castings by the use of expanded polyesterence foam patterns(...). Basically the process consists of embedding the foam patterns in sand and then pouring the casting metal directly into the foam. This vaporized the polyesterence and leaves a casting that duplicates the original pattern. 1, record 17, English, - full%2Dmold

Le moulage à la cire perdue a conduit au moulage "exporite", dans le premier procédé, la cire entourée de sable (en châssis) est d'abord fondue pour laisser la place au métal en fusion, dans le second, elle est remplacée par de la mousse de polystyrène expansé qui se vaporise lors de la coulée du métal; dans les deux cas, le modèle est perdu d'où l'analogie. 1, record 17, French, - exporite
