Can aluminium be used for casting?

Yes, aluminum is one of the most widely used metals for casting globally. Its low melting point (660°C), light weight, good fluidity, and recyclability make it ideal for casting. Aluminum casting accounts for over 25% of global non-ferrous casting output. It is used in automotive parts, electronics housings, engine components, heat sinks, lighting, and industrial machinery. Casting processes include high-pressure die casting, gravity casting, sand casting, and low-pressure casting.
