Casting
Volume 15 is a comprehensive reference on the principles and practice of metal casting, covering the fundamentals, process selection and parameters, and materials performance. It addresses molten metal processing, solidification behavior, molding, foundry practice, and casting properties. It also describes the equipment and procedures commonly used in casting operations, along with their advantages and limitations. In addition, the volume provides information on process modeling, quality assurance, shape casting, die casting, expandable-mold and centrifugal casting, high-pressure cast irons, and liquid metal handling procedures. For information on the print version of Volume 15, ISBN 978-0-87170-711-6, follow this link.
