Beskrivning

Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design, Third Edition provides modern principles and processes in both breadth and depth while also retaining a clear, practical focus. The book has a unique viewpoint, interpreting the behavior of castings and metals as a whole, in terms of their biofilm content, the largely invisible casting defects which control much of the structure and behavior of metals. This new edition has been thoroughly revised, with updated sections on extended fluidity, additive manufacturing of molds, porosity as an entrainment defect, tensile properties and other failure aspects, metrology and much more. The third edition has also been updated to include two brand new chapters, one focused on avoidance of fracture through good casting, and the other on sustainability in the casting industry.

Delivers the expert advice that engineers need to make successful and profitable casting decisions
Ideal reference for those interested in solidification, vortex gases, nucleation, biofilm, remelting, and molding
Contains established, must-have information such as Campbell’s ’10 Rules’ for successful casting manufacture, the fundamentals of filling systems, failure mechanisms of both cast and wrought metal products by fracture, and much more
Includes numerous updates to virtually every chapter as well as 2 brand new chapters covering avoidance of fracture through good casting and sustainability in casting

John Campbell OBE is a leading international figure in the castings industry, with over four decades of experience. He is the originator of the Cosworth Casting Process, the pre-eminent production process for automobile cylinder heads and blocks. He is also co-inventor of both the Baxi Casting Process (now owned by Alcoa) developed in the UK, and the newly emerging Alotech Casting Process in the USA. He is Professor Emeritus of Casting Technology at the University of Birmingham, UK.
