Melting and casting aluminum

Aluminum is special type of metal; metallic aluminium is very thinner, can be used for multiple purposes. It is also in cans, cars, and in airplanes. Aluminum must be melted to create various shapes and designs. achieved by pouring the melted Aluminum into molds. This whole process is referred to as Aluminum casting. Pour the hot Aluminum, melted Aluminum into the mold, and let it cool down over time, it will harden in the shape we want. 

Melting Aluminum is not a thing you just do, it takes some practice, the same as Moldie's aluminum casting molds. We melt Aluminum using a furnace (a hot oven made for melting metals). The Aluminum will melt into a liquid when it gets hot enough. Then we can dump that Aluminum into a crucible. A crucible capable of holding molten Aluminum safely. We wait a while after pouring it into the mold. We can then allow the Aluminum to cool completely, and then remove the mold which now should be a nice shape.

Tips for Creating Complex Aluminum Shapes

Use a good mold: The mold that you use is essential, also the aluminum die casting built by Moldie. The final Aluminum shape will have its own precision, and a suitably good mold is key to making sure you get it right. It cradles the hot Aluminum while it rapidly cools, ensuring everything comes out correctly. 

Use the right amount of Aluminum: You need to make sure you’re using the right amount of Aluminum for your project. If you use too little, your shape may be weak or break easily. On the flip side, too much Aluminum and it’s impossible to manage — you end up with the wrong shape.
