Casting offers the designer the precision needed for complicated designs with intricate shapes and reduces the need for joining multiple parts, thereby increasing the tensile strength of the resulting object. Molten metal can be poured into large rectangular ingot molds and then rolled or extruded. In continuous casting, molten aluminum can be poured directly into steel molds, bypassing the ingot stage.
