Artillery Foundry

An artillery foundry is a specialized factory where large-caliber cannons, guns, and artillery parts are manufactured. It involves melting raw metal—typically iron or steel—in furnaces, then pouring it into molds shaped like the desired weapon components. The process includes casting, cooling, and machining to ensure precision and strength. Artillery foundries were crucial historically for producing military weapons, enabling armies to equip their artillery units. Today, modern foundries continue to produce large metal components for military, industrial, and engineering applications, relying on advanced techniques for safety, quality, and durability.
