In the general sense of this word, foundry has been used and has existed for more than one thousand years, and more specifically, this human occupation has already turned about five thousand years old. This means that our ancestors in the distant, distant times before our era have already joined the casting technologies, thanks to which they could produce not only bronze household utensils and women's jewelry, but also specialized in casting weapons.
In today's world concepts such as aluminum castings , non-ferrous casting metals are heard only by representatives of these mysterious professions. Although, in fact, many people have an idea of what and how metal casting is used, and who is doing it. Modern foundry is, one might say, a trend of industrialization, since, as in ancient times, and in the Middle Ages, the revival or enlightenment, this type of activity was used only for the benefit of domestic use or for the production of military equipment.
With the beginning of industrialization and the rapid growth of industry, the importance of metal casting has increased several times, since the scope of this type of activity is simply huge and, with the right approach, has a tremendous effect. There are many areas in the industry where casting is completely impossible to replace with another technology. Since the result of such production is not only various parts used for the production of household appliances, plumbing installations and fixtures, but also all kinds of parts of machines, cars, etc. Naturally, this production is not available to everyone, more precisely, it has been mastered in different parts of the world, but opportunities are different for everyone. And raw materials, materials are not available enough to be used everywhere.
So, in the 21st century, one of the directions of foundry production was aluminum castings, or rather the widespread use of aluminum for the manufacture of all kinds of parts and structures. This is due to the fact that aluminum is quite widespread and easily mined, and also has a number of properties that distinguish it favorably from other metals. Also, this metal is quite capacious, and the production of aluminum castings is characterized by low cost at a sufficiently high yield. It was all these arguments that ensured the growth of the influence of non-ferrous casting in production.
