Moreover, green sand molds are reusable; they can be reshaped and reused for subsequent casts, which can significantly reduce material waste. The process also benefits from quicker turnaround times since the cooling and solidification of the metal occur relatively fast due to the moisture content. However, the quality of the surface finish may not be as fine as that achieved with other methods, and excessive moisture can lead to defects like steam holes.

3. Globe Valves With their complex structure, globe valves excel in throttling applications, allowing for fine control of flow rates. They are often used in power generation and chemical processing.
