QUESTION 1 (a) Powder Metallurgy (PM) has become competitive with processes such as casting, forging and machining, particularly for complex parts made of high strength and hard alloys. Compare the design considerations for products made of powder metallurgy, casting and forging process. Evaluate your observation. (b) Products made of sheet metals can be easily found around us. Identify some of the products in your automobile which are made from sheet metal, and discuss the process or combination of processes required to produce such products.

Metal Casting

Metal casting is described as a manufacturing process in which a mold cavity is produced by sand, and molten metal is filled inside a mold cavity. The desirable shaped object is achieved after the solidification of molten metal. Large metal objects like machine beds, motor bodies, and others can easily be manufactured using metal casting. The place or shop where metal casting is performed is called foundry.
