9. Conclusion

The wide variety of molding and core-making processes used in foundry operations clearly demonstrates the richness and diversity of the techniques employed, their high technological level and the extent of their potential.

Over the last few decades, the foundry industry has made considerable progress, drawing on considerable advances in all branches of industrial technology.

Thanks to the alloys it uses and the processes it employs, the foundry has been able to penetrate all industrial sectors and become a basic supplier to industry.

However, faced with such a profusion of processes, it is hardly possible to summarize their comparative performance characteristics in a single table. In order to identify the best solution and choose the best process for the manufacture of parts, whether one-off or in small, medium...
