John Campbell's Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Techniques and Design, Second Edition provides an update to the first single-volume guide to cover modern casting principles and processes in such breadth and depth, while also retaining a clear, practical focus.
The work includes a unique viewpoint, interpreting the behavior of castings and engineering metals as a whole in terms of their bi-film content, the largely invisible casting defects which control much of the structure and behavior of metals.
This edition includes findings, many from John Campbell's own research, on crack initiation, contact pouring, vortex and tangential filter agates, liquid metal pumps and the Cosworth process. This is the essential reference guide to the art and science of metal castings for metallurgists and foundry professionals in industry and academia; cast metal product and process designers; MS∓E researchers; and government, corporate and academic researchers and libraries.
Key Features:
- Delivers the expert advice that engineers need to make successful and profitable casting decisions
- Ideal reference for those interested in molding, casting, solidification and remelting
- Follows a logical, two-part structure that covers both casting metallurgy and casting manufacture
- Contains established, must-have information, such as Campbell's "10 Rules" for successful casting manufacture
- Includes numerous updates and revisions based on recent breakthroughs in casting technology
Providing in-depth casting knowledge and process know-how, from the noteworthy career of an industry-leading authority, this edition of the Complete Casting Handbook delivers the expert advice needed to help you make successful and profitable castings.
