DEFINITION

Classification: 164/47

(under subclass 1) Process which includes the step of shaping molten metal by means of a molding surface.

(1) Note. Metallic material to be incorporated herein must be a pure metal alloy, metallic composition, or intermetallic compound. See the class definition of Class 420, Alloys or Metallic Compositions, for the general definition of the terms alloy, or metallic composition as used herein.
