Merger of Sprue (casting) and this article[edit]

I've merged the articles, the subject matter is essentially the same, just different materials. There's not enough difference to warrant two articles. Iepeulas (talk) 04:12, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology Differences?[edit]

I am puzzled, this description of sprue and runner does not match what I know from my career in injection molding. See http://imoldmaking.com/mold-making-2/mold-design/runner-and-gate/injection-mold-sprue-and-runner/

Minor terminology comment, injection molding does not use dies, it uses molds. IF you take the same block of metal and use it for die casting, it is then a die.

It appears that there are some similarities AND some differences between injection molding and die casting terminology????
