Foundries - All About All

Foundry (Redirected from Foundries)

This article is about the factory that makes castings of metal. For the use in the electronics industry see foundry (electronics). For other uses see foundry (disambiguation).

A foundry is a factory which produces castings of metal, both ferrous and non-ferrous.

Most foundries specialise in particular metals, and have furnaces dedicated to these. For example a ferrous metal (steel) foundry will normally use a small electric furnace, while a lead foundry will use a cupola, similar to a small blast furnace.
