Blockguss (Masculino)

Description: In metallurgical ingot casting, permanent cast-Iron moulds are usually used to produce ingots, slabs or billets that are later processed into either semi-finished products (using Forming processes such as pressing, Rolling and drawing) or blanks (by means of Forging or pressing). Afterwards, the shape and dimensions of the Casting no longer resemble the original ingot. A distinction is made between top casting, in which the metallic melt is poured into the mould from above, and bottom casting, in which the mould is filled from below. The process of filling several moulds from below is known as group casting and requires a distribution system. Moulds are filled in the casting pit. Once the melt has solidified, the moulds are removed from the ingots.
