        Here is an excerpt from the Learn Casting section page on Metal Casting Zone:

        “There are various casting processes being implemented now days. The oldest amongst them is sand
       casting. Spin casting is also widely used. They can be described as follows:

        Sand Casting: Sand casting involves formation of mold from a mixture of sand and to pour a casting liquid,
       most probably, a molten metal into mold. The metal is then allowed to solidify and the removal of mold,
       takes place. Sand molding consists of two types: green sand method and air set method. The first one
       consists of mixture of clay, moisture, silica, and many other additives. The second one consists of mixture
       of dry sand and other materials, not moist clay. They are mixed with the help of a quick curing adhesive.
       The collective use of these materials is called ‘air set’.

        At times, there is temporary plug placed to pour the fluid which is to be molded. Air-set molds usually
       form molds consisting of two parts-the bottom and the top. The mixture of sand gets tamped down after its
       addition. It does not generate any by-product. After the solidification and cooling of metal, the mold gets
       usually destroyed. This is because its removal involves a lot of breaking and cracking. The casting accuracy
       depends a great deal on the sand and the process of molding used. Castings composed of green sand result
       into formation of rough texture on casting surface, and this characteristic makes them easily recognizable.
       Air-set molds produce smoother castings.”
