Shape Casting The John Campbell Symposium

Description

This book provides an international update on the research anddevelopment that has taken place in the design and production ofhigh quality castings. It includes comprehensive coverage of highquality castings, gating system design, process modeling, mechanical behavior and structure-process-property relationships.In addition, it explores in-depth the latest casting innovations inquality, reliability and process design. Topics covered include: Design of Filling and Feeding SystemsModeling of Casting ProcessesLiquid Metal ProcessingNew and Innovative Casting ProcessesStructure-Process-Property RelationshipsResidual Stresses in Castings (both experiment andmodeling)Solidification and Microstructure of Cast AlloysCase Studies (illustrating process design and/or qualityimprovement for high quality castings)
