Aluminum casting is a manufacturing process where molten aluminum is poured into a mold to create parts with desired shapes. It's a versatile method for producing a wide range of components, especially those requiring complex geometries, good surface finish, and high strength-to-weight ratio. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
What it is:
• Melting and Pouring: 

  Aluminum ingots are melted to a liquid state and then poured, injected, or forced into a mold cavity. 
• Mold Types: 

  Molds can be made from various materials like sand, metal (die casting), or ceramic (investment casting), each offering different advantages. 
• Solidification: 

  As the molten aluminum cools and solidifies within the mold, it takes on the mold's shape. 
• Post-Processing: 

  Depending on the application and casting method, parts may require further machining, surface treatment, or other finishing processes. 
Key Characteristics:
• Complex Shapes: 

  Aluminum casting allows for the creation of intricate and detailed parts that might be difficult or impossible to produce with other methods, according to JC Casting. 
• Lightweight: 

  Aluminum's low density contributes to the lightness of cast parts, making them suitable for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries. 
• Strength-to-Weight Ratio: 

  Aluminum castings offer a good balance between strength and weight, making them ideal for structural components. 
• Corrosion Resistance: 

  Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that provides corrosion resistance, and this is enhanced in some casting processes, says Dynacast. 
• Good Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: 

  Aluminum is known for its ability to conduct heat and electricity, making it useful in applications requiring thermal management or electrical conductivity. 
• Cost-Effective: 

  Aluminum casting can be a cost-effective manufacturing process, especially for large production volumes. 
Common Applications:
• Automotive: Engine blocks, transmission housings, wheels, and various other parts.
• Aerospace: Aircraft components, engine parts, and structural elements.
• Electronics: Housings, heat sinks, and other components.
• General Engineering: A wide range of parts for machinery, tools, and equipment. 
Types of Aluminum Casting:
• Sand Casting: 

  Molten aluminum is poured into a sand mold, suitable for a wide range of sizes and shapes, says YouTube. 
• Die Casting: 

  Molten aluminum is injected into a steel mold under high pressure, resulting in high precision and surface finish. 
• Investment Casting: 

  A wax pattern is used to create a ceramic mold, offering excellent detail and complex shapes, says PHB Inc.. 
• Low-Pressure Die Casting: 

  Molten aluminum is forced into the mold by gas pressure, suitable for thin-walled components with good strength.
