Soil solarization. Follow these four steps to solarize your soil: cultivate and remove plant matter; level and smooth the soil; irrigate; and lay a clear tarp on the soil surface for 4 to 8 weeks, depending on local conditions.
Die casting is a manufacturing process that can produce geometrically complex metal parts through the use of reusable molds, called dies. The die casting process involves the use of a furnace, metal, die casting machine, and die. The metal, typically a non-ferrous alloy such as aluminum or zinc, is melted in the furnace and then injected into the dies in the die casting machine.
White iron at the surface of a casting is called chill. It is produced by making that portion of the moldâwhere the white iron is desiredâof a material that can extract heat very rapidly, such as iron or graphite.
