	Casting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each hollow wax copy is then "chased": a heated metal tool is used to rub out all the marks which show the "parting line" or "flashing" where the pieces of the mould came together.
		Just as the wax copies were "chased," the bronze copies are worked until the telltale signs of casting are removed, and the sculptures again look like the original artwork.
		Then the artist may choose to continue refining the object by "chasing" it or leave it with the roughened surface that is characteristic of sand-cast objects.

		They resemble chased, constructed, and soldered forms, and can be made with most metals, including steel.
		This technique is used for joining low-temperature base metals such as pewter and does not possess the strength of brazing solders when joining higher temperature metals such as silver.
		As in most metalworking techniques, the metal is periodically softened by annealing, or heating, when it has become hardened through being worked.
