[00:00:00]Here's what we're going to learn today, casting, one of the methods of manufacturing in mechanical engineering.

[00:00:04]Casting is a manufacturing process where molten metal is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify into a desired shape. Now, let's understand this in a simple way.

[00:00:11]Have you ever wondered how huge engine parts or machine components are made in such perfect shapes? That's exactly what casting does. First, the metal is heated until it completely melts and turns into a liquid that can flow easily, just like water. Then, this molten metal is poured into a specially designed mold.

[00:00:27]Now, here comes the interesting part. As the metal cools down, it becomes hard and takes the exact shape of the mold.

[00:00:32]In simple words, casting is the process of converting liquid metal into any required shape. This technique is used to manufacture engine blocks, pipes, automobile parts, and heavy machinery components. Simple process, melt the metal, pour it into the mold, let it cool, and boom, the final product is ready.
