SMART Alloys

When a smart alloy is bent or twisted 

(called deforming)

it keeps its new shape until it is heated.

When the temperature is raised above a certain levelthe alloy returns to its original shape.

Some examples of uses for this is Stents and Self repairing glasses

Lost Pattern Casting

A pattern is made from polystyrene. The pattern is sandwiched between open boxes called a cope and drag

The boxes are filled with sand with runners and risers. The molten metal burns the polystyrene. Toxic fumes are produced

Jewellers using a similar process using wax, this produces a more complex shapes
