Sloth asked:


I know casting is pouring molten metal into a cast and allowing it to cool. From what I gather most forged parts are made from ingots that are heated close to melting and then formed with presses and similar tools. The ingots are made from motlen metal are they not? What process do they use to make the ingots, and what makes the metal so different from a casting?
so before the pounding takes place, the ingots have a similar structure to a casting?
