Jet cooling refers to the application of high-velocity streams of coolant—often air or water—directly onto the surface of the die during the casting process. This method contrasts with traditional cooling techniques that rely on the natural conduction of heat away from the metal. By directing jets of coolant onto specific areas of the die, operators can achieve localized cooling, which can lead to several significant advantages.

1. OEM vs Aftermarket Mahalaga na malaman ang pagkakaiba ng OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) at aftermarket parts. Ang mga OEM spark plug covers ay ginawa ng parehong kumpanya na gumawa ng orihinal na bahagi, habang ang aftermarket naman ay ginawa ng ibang kumpanya. Ang OEM parts ay kadalasang mas maaasahan, ngunit maaring mas mahal. Sa kabilang dako, ang aftermarket parts ay mas abot-kaya ngunit maaaring mag-iba ang kalidad.

As technology continues to advance, the field of castings is undergoing a transformation. The rise of 3D printing has introduced new possibilities, allowing for more complex designs that were previously unattainable with traditional methods. Additive manufacturing processes can create molds directly or even enable the printing of metal parts, potentially reducing waste and fabricating components on-demand.
