Have you noticed that most outdoor patio furniture is made of aluminum? If you are a fan of outdoor patio furniture, you know why, but if not, here are some reasons why you should choose   aluminum patio furniture : Lightweight Another outdoor patio furniture is made of different materials, such as wood, cast iron, and steel. Compared with all these materials, aluminum is the best choice because of its lightweight. Although aluminum outdoor furniture is very light, it is strong enough to withstand heavyweight. It is actually similar to iron or steel patio furniture, but it is much lighter than tropical hardwood (teak or mahogany). Because it is light, it makes it easier for buyers to transport aluminum outdoor patio furniture from one place to another. Consumers can also easily move it to their own terrace or yard if they decide to rearrange their outdoor furniture project. Durability Aluminum does not rust like iron or steel. Other materials are easily damaged when exposed to humid or

    What is Metal Casting? Metal casting  is a modern process with ancient roots. In the metal casting process, metal shapes are formed by pouring molten metal into a mold cavity, where it is cooled and later extracted from the mold. Metal casting is arguably the earliest and most influential industrial process in history. It's used to make many of the metal objects used in our daily lives: automotive parts, train wheels, lamp posts, school bus pedals, and much more. Plus, metal casting foundries rely on metal recycling as a cost-efficient source of raw material, significantly reducing wasted scrap metal that might end up in landfills.   The History of Metal Casting The oldest known metal casting is that of a copper frog, believed to have been produced in 3200 BCE in Mesopotamia when copper was a popularly used material. Later, around 2000 BCE, iron was discovered. But it was not until around 700 BCE that the first production of cast iron was developed in China. Interestingly enoug

    What is Cast iron? Cast iron  is a ferrous alloy of iron, carbon, and silicon. With carbon content of 2.1 to 4.5 % and silicon at about 2.2% and a small amount of Sulphur, Manganese and Phosphorous. Iron casting is one of the oldest casting methods in the world. The cast iron is melted and poured into molds or casts to make a part of products of desired size and shape. Cast iron can be used in a range of industries. In the Manufacturing Process of Cast Iron, the alloying elements determine cast iron type. Compared with steel casting, iron casting has a wide range of advantages of its properties.   The Advantages of Iron Cast 1. Good machinability (graphite cast irons) 2. Excellent anti-vibration (or damping) properties hence it is used to make machine frames 3. Strong compression strength compared to steel 4. Low Cost 5. Excellent resistance to wear 6. Good Sensibility 7. Very low notch sensitivity 8. Constant Mechanical properties between 20 to 350 degrees Celsius 9. Durability, R
