Foundry Technology brings together basic metal casting phenomena foundrytechniques and product characteristics in a single work of reference.Peter Beeley was a foundry manager before he became a senior lecturer inmetallurgy and subsequently maintained continuous links with the castingsindustry and associated research activities and publications.His book is designed to serve as a bridge between the study of the basicprinciples of metal founding and their application in the producing and userindustries.A particular aim of Foundry Technology is to assist engineers and engineeringstudents in appreciating the role of castings in design and materialsselection.Orthodox and specialized casting processes and both ferrous and nonferrousfounding are considered on a comparative basis and the place of castings indesign is critically examined and related to other products.The revised edition takes account of the main changes in casting processes andproducts since the publication of the original edition in 1972. While retainingtreatments of basic aspects of molding solidification cast structures andfeeding newer developments in modeling and rapid prototyping are reviewedtogether with quality environmental health and other issues of growingimportance.New edition of wellknown book.Fully updated with latest technology. «
