A chill is an object used to promote solidification in a specific portion of a metal casting mold. The directional solidification in casting can be improved by using Chills and padding.

Permanent mold casting is a metal casting process that employs reusable molds , usually made from metal. The most common process uses gravity to fill the mold, however gas pressure or a vacuum are also used.
When the molten metal is fed in the cavity of a metallic mould by gravity, the method of casting is known as Permanent mould casting method.
In the centrifugal casting process, molten metal is poured into a preheated, spinning die. The die may be oriented either on a vertical or horizontal axis depending on the configuration of the desired part.
Slush Casting is a traditional method of permanent mold casting process, where the molten metal is not allowed to completely solidify in the mold. When the desired thickness in obtained, the remaining molten metal in poured out.
