目前的大多数铸造工艺都是基于成熟技术典型的成熟和成熟的实践。当代经济、环境和社会的发展同时以前所未有的速度改变了传统金属铸造方法并没有随着时间的推移而真正发展的背景。因此，出现了重大的挑战和机遇。这项工作将提出一种新的金属铸造方法的创建指标，并开发一种新的哲学(称为“小就是美”)，旨在应对当前行业面临的压力，重点放在能源和材料的效率以及灵活的生产上。给出了传统的和公认的参数，并与根据第一性原理和热力学性质定义的新度量进行了比较。使用五家砂型铸造厂熔炼不同黑色金属和有色金属合金的工业和科学文献数据对所有指标进行了验证。
Most of the current foundry processes are based on well-developed and established practices typical of mature technologies. Contemporary economic, environmental and societal developments have concurrently changed at an unprecedented rate the context where traditional metal casting methodologies have not really developed much over time. Consequently, significant challenges and opportunities arise. This work will present the founding metrics of a novel approach to metal casting with the development of a new philosophy (called “Small is Beautiful”) aimed at tackling the current pressures on the industry with a focus on energy and materials’ efficiencies and flexible production. Traditional and well-established parameters are presented and compared to new metrics defined from first principles and thermodynamic properties. All metrics are validated using industrial and scientific literature data of five sand casting plants melting different ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
