Shrinkage Allowance for Metal Casting
A shrinkage allowance for metal casting is something that must be figured into a design from the very beginning. As the molten metal cools and solidifies it will begin to contract. This means that although the molten metal completely filled up a mold, by the time the casting was cold, the casting is smaller than the mold.

Outboard Motor Parts
Outboard motor parts are almost entirely created by some type of casting process. One of the reasons is that metal casting allows the use of alloys which have the desired properties for strength, durability and corrosion resistance. This is why you can still find old outboard motors being used today, along with being maintained well, their engine parts were cast to ensure longevity.
