Epoxy Coatings:-
• coatings normally consist of an amine curing
agent blended with an epoxy polymer. Think of the
doubletubes of epoxy glue you might use to secure a
strong adhesive bond of one material to another.
• Formulators can alter the mix ratios (and
ingredients) of epoxies to create a wide variety of
characteristics. This gives users a unique coating to
meet the demands of numerous environments.
• Epoxy coatings bond well to many different
surfaces.
• Epoxies resist weathering and abrasion
extremely effectively.

=>Definition:-
• Casting manufacturing is a process in which liquefied
material, such as molten metal, is poured into the
cavity of a specially designed mold and allowed to
harden.
• solidification, the workpiece is removed from the
mold to undergo various finishing treatments or for
use as a final product.
• Casting methods are typically used to create
intricate solid and hollow shapes, and cast products
are found in a wide range of applications, including
automotive components, aerospace parts,etc.
=>There are many types of casting.
• Although casting is one of the oldest known
manufacturing techniques, modern advances in
casting technology have led to a broad array of
specialized casting methods.
1:-Sand Casting:-
• Sand casting typically relies on silica-based materials,
such as synthetic or naturally-bonded sand. Casting
sand generally consists of finely ground, spherical
grains that can be tightly packed together into a
smooth molding surface.
• Sand casting involves several steps, including
patternmaking, molding, melting and pouring, and
cleaning.
• The pattern is the form around which the sand is
packed, usually in two parts, the cope and the drag.
• After the sand is compacted enough to replicate the
pattern, the cope is removed and the pattern
extracted.
• Then, any additional inserts called core boxes are
installed and the cope is replaced.
2.Investment Casting
Investment, or lost-wax, casting uses a disposable
wax pattern for each cast part. The wax is injected
directly into a mold, removed, then coated with
refractory material and a binding agent, usually in
several stages to build up a thick shell.
Multiple patterns are assembled onto common
sprues. Once the shells have hardened the patterns
are inverted and heated in ovens to remove the wax.
Molten metal is then poured into the remaining
shells where it hardens into the shape of the wax
patterns. The refractory shell is broken away to
reveal the completed casting. Investment casting is
often used to manufacture parts for the automotive,
power generation, and aerospace industries, such as
turbine blades. Some of the central advantages and
disadvantages of investment casting include:
• A high degree of accuracy and precise dimensional
results.
• The ability to create thin-walled parts with complex
geometries.
• The capacity for casting both ferrous and nonferrous
materials.
• Relatively high-quality surface finish and detail in
final components.
3.Plaster Casting:-
Plaster casting is similar to the sand casting process,
using a mixture of gypsum, strengthening
compound, and water in place of the sand. The
plaster pattern is typically coated with an
antiadhesive compound to prevent it from becoming
stuck against the mold, and the plaster is capable of
filling in any gaps around the mold. Once the plaster
material has been used to cast the part, it usually
cracks or forms defects, requiring it to be replaced
with fresh material. The advantages offered by
plaster casting include:
