Aluminum artwork, as in a sculpture?
Aluminum wheels for an automobile?
Aluminum engine block?
Steel Guitar?
Engine Pistons?
Pots and pans... never mind, usually not cast
Ship Screw (Propeller)?
Stair Railing parts?
Piano Plate (Alumatone plate)?
Door closer bodies, keys, bolster plates, handle for glass coffee pot...

Please tell us, how much does a bag of groceries cost?

Come on, you must have some clue about what might be useful information to provide when the desired result in a cogent response from an internet forum.
