After they liquefy, the aluminum liquid is then poured to molds known as castings. These castings will give the metal its shape and size. After the castings are cooled with water, the aluminum in it will begin to harden once again and go back to its solid state, and now it is an Aluminum Hardware Handle.
There are a number of companies out there which provides the service of die casting.
