This not only makes an interesting process, but also something that will be put to use for a long time in our day-to-day lives.

The initial stage is to select the type of metal most suitable for casting by using pouring into molds. Various metal varieties can be used, such as aluminum, bronze and iron. Every metal has its own properties and uses. Once the metal of our choice is selected, it gets heated that eventually turns into a molten liquid. We call this part of the process "foundry work. " A special furnace is used to heat the metal very hot -- so hot that it can reach temperatures above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit! That’s incredibly hot!
