cast aluminum
Poured molten alloy
Cast aluminum is aluminum that has been melted and poured into a mold, then allowed to solidify into a desired shape.
The casting process makes it suitable for complex forms that would be difficult to machine or forge: cast aluminum patio furniture, cast aluminum engine blocks.
It's lighter than cast iron but shares similar manufacturing advantages—durability and the ability to produce intricate designs at scale.
