This top-selling publication of the Japan Foundry Engineering Society from 2016 is now available in English. Its contents cover countermeasures for defects in cast gray iron, spheroidal iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and other alloy systems. It includes high-resolution photos of the diagnosed defects with brief commentary on their diagnosis. A partial list of defects reported includes wrong size and shape, shrinkage, gas-type defects, cracks, inclusions, poor appearance, poor core(s), poor casting structure, poor microstructure, poor fracture, poor strength, and a lack of required industrial characteristics, among others. There is also commentary provided on the analysis of iron casting fractured surfaces, a cause-and-effect diagram of casting defects, incorrect size/dimensional defects, pattern defects, poor electrical conductivity, segregation, zinc infiltration into refractory, and international classifications of casting defects.
