Anotations

Scope note:

A type of metal insertion placed in the gap between the core and the outer mold as a spacer to hold the core in place during a casting operation. A number of these are placed strategically throughout the mold. They are most often made of an alloy similar to that of the surrounding metal, as they will become embedded in the cast. In modern foundries, chaplets are mainly used in sandcasting, but they have been encountered in historic lost-wax casting as well.
