The process to manufacture Cast Iron Railings is as follows -

A sand casting is a cast part produced by forming a mould from a sand mixture and pouring molten liquid metal into the cavity in the mould. The mould is then cooled until the metal has solidified. In the last stage the casting is separated from the mould. There are six steps in this process:

1. Place a pattern in sand to create a mould
2. Incorporate a gating system
3. Remove the pattern
4. Fill the mould cavity with molten metal
5. Allow the metal to cool
6. Break away the sand mould and remove the casting.

Cast Iron is the preferred material for making gates and railings, however due to high manufacturing costs most people tend to have their gates and railings made from steel. The manufacturing costs for steel are far cheaper, however the end results show why cast iron is the ideal material for projects where a high quality job is required.
