cast metal
Molten then solidified
Cast metal is metal that has been shaped by pouring it molten into a mold and letting it solidify.
The technique produces everything from engine blocks to bronze sculptures to iron skillets.
Cast metal often has a distinctive texture from the mold surface: The cast metal railing showed fine sand patterns from the foundry.
