Full Description

This book covers all main aspects of metal-casting processes and practices, including mold/gating-system design, melting of metal, solidification, QC/QA, safety, economic, and environmental considerations. The flow and solidification of metal is presented with reference to Bernoulli's Law, Fick's 2nd law, and Chvorinov's rule, with detailed mathematical analyses and calculations. Foundry practices involving mold design, molding sand characteristics, melting furnaces, testing/NDT, and QC are explained, including both conventional casting processes and recent advances in casting technologies. There are around 120 diagrammatic illustrations, which have been properly labelled to enhance the understanding of readers. One of the salient features of the book is the inclusion of an industrially-oriented project; the key solution of the project is presented with the aid of mathematical analysis and diagrams. The metal-casting design project cultivates managerial skills enabling the reader to work effectively as an engineer/manufacturing manager in an industry.
