Sand casting is one of the oldest and most widely used casting processes in the manufacturing industry. It involves creating a mold from sand and then pouring molten grey cast iron into the mold cavity. The process begins with the preparation of a mold, which consists of two halves the cope (upper half) and the drag (lower half). The sand is mixed with a binder, usually clay, and water to create a mold that can hold its shape when the molten metal is poured.

Magnesium die casting is a manufacturing process that involves injecting molten magnesium into a mold to create complex shapes and components. This technique offers several advantages over traditional materials such as aluminum and zinc. One of the most notable benefits is the significant weight reduction that magnesium provides; it is approximately 33% lighter than aluminum, making it an attractive option for industries aiming to reduce the overall weight of their products. This lightweight nature is particularly beneficial in automotive and aerospace applications, where every gram counts in terms of fuel efficiency and performance.
