Lost foam casting (LFC) as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly casting process.Theenergy conservation and emission reduction in foundry industry should take casting quality and technology improvements as core mission. Lost foam casting is a casting method with the use of patterns, which are not removed from the mouldbut remain in it and are gasified under the action of the heat energy of a metal being poured into the mould. It has become one of the most important casting processesfor ferrous and nonferrous metals, particularly for the automotive industry.
