AB - This research attempted to describe the method of casting metal types with clay, documented in the article of 'casting metal types in the private sector' in 'Husaengnok'. Since the record of this article is insufficient, an attempt was also made to complement theoretically its record by referring to 'the process of casting a mold for coins' which was used for producing coins.
The major findings of this research are as follows:First, in order to engrave characters intaglio on a clay mold, it is best to press wooden characters carved in relief on a clay mold.
Second, the method of dealing with the height of characters, not recorded in 'Husaengnok' was figured out. If wooden characters are pressed deep enough on a mold and then later pulled out, the clay mold could have spaces with the shape and depth of those wooden characters. When melted metals are poured into those spaces, the bodies of metal characters are formed.
Third, it is confirmed that a double-sided mold and the presence of a regular as well as minute conduits inside the mold are required for melted metals to be poured. This kind of a double-sided mold was used for casting various metal products since the Bronze Age in history.
