Özet
Casting-based hybrid manufacturing integrates traditional casting techniques with advanced processes such as machining, additive manufacturing, welding, forging, and external field assistance to overcome the inherent limitations of standalone casting. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of such hybrid combinations, aiming to enhance dimensional accuracy, surface quality, mechanical performance, and production efficiency. Sequential hybridization with machining addresses casting defects and enables high-precision features, while additive-assisted casting improves mold complexity and customization, especially through methods such as hybrid investment casting and 3D sand printing. Welding and friction stir welding offer reinforcement and post-casting modification capabilities. Moreover, forging-casting hybridization, such as the integrated casting and forging process, yield improved microstructural uniformity and strength. Emerging assisted techniques including ultrasonic, electromagnetic, magnetic field, and vacuum-assisted casting introduce novel ways to refine grain structure, reduce porosity, and tailor material properties. These technologies, when combined strategically, facilitate the production of high-performance components in critical sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical engineering. This chapter ends with the discussion on environmental sustainability and ethical considerations, emphasizing reduced material waste, energy efficiency, and the need for inclusive adaptation to advanced manufacturing. Overall, casting-based hybrid manufacturing represents a transformative strategy for achieving next-generation manufacturing goals under Industry 4.0.
