Green sand casting refers to a type of metal casting process where a mixture of sand, clay, and water is used to create a mold. “Green” indicates that the mold is not baked or cured — it retains moisture in its composition. This moisture helps bind the sand particles together, providing strength to the mold while also enabling the easy removal of the casting after the metal has cooled.

3. Melting Furnace A small furnace suitable for melting aluminum is crucial for any casting project. These can be propane or electric furnaces. Safety measures should be considered when operating these devices.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. In the automotive industry, OEMs are companies that produce parts that are used in the manufacturing of a vehicle. These are the parts that the car manufacturer, such as Ford, Toyota, or Honda, originally installs in their vehicles before they leave the factory. Consequently, OEM car parts are identical to the parts that were installed in your vehicle during the assembly process.
