SLUSH CASTING

Slush casting is an extension of permanent mold casting or metallic mold casting. It is used widely for production of hollow casting without the use of core. The process is similar to metallic mold casting only with the difference that mold is allowed to open at an early stage (only when a predetermined amount of molten metal has solidified up to some thickness) and some un-solidified molten metal fall down leaving hollowness in the cast object. The process finds wide applications in production of articles namely toys, novelties, statutes, ornaments, lighting fixtures and other articles having hollowness inside the cast product.
