Price: $ 264
Main
Features
The revised Volume 15 updates and
expands coverage on the principles and practices of casting in
several ways. Melt processing
methods and equipment are described for iron, steel, and aluminum in
terms of fluxing, degassing,
molten metal filtration, refinement, and modification. Solidification,
process
modeling, and filling and feeding
concepts are updated to reflect the continuing improvements in casting
methods and processing. The major
methods of green-sand, no-bake, and shell molding are described
further in individual articles.
Additional articles are devoted to the foundry practice of cast iron irons,
steels, aluminum, copper alloys, and
zinc. Expert updates are also provided on many other significant
casting methods such as
high-pressure die casting, lost-foam, squeeze casting, semisolid methods,
spray casting, rapid solidification,
and low-pressure die casting of high-integrity product. Automation
technology is addressed, and
coverage on continuous casting of aluminum and copper are expanded.
Updated articles are also provided
on the specification, selection, and properties of gray iron, ductile
irons, malleable irons, compacted
graphite irons, high-alloy irons, cast steels, aluminum, copper, zinc,
magnesium, cobalt, nickel, titanium,
zirconium, and cast metal matrix composites.
