DESCRIPTION:
The book examines these intricate, interlocking events that make up a casting, dealing with gaseous interactions, solidification and shrinkage, linear contraction, accuracy and the structure, defects and properties of the finished cast. Much of the author's expertise was gained during the development of the "Cosworth Process" by the Cosworth Group.. This text, intended for the use of final-year students in metallurgy or engineering, deals with the techniques of casting, the difficulties, the processes and also, the excitement of achieving a new casting, described as an "explosion of interacting events"
No foundry, and no foundry technologist, can afford to be without it." - Foundry Trade Journal . Praise for Castings - first edition"Castings is a must reference for all foundry engineers and castings designers" - American Foundrymens Society"Its author has himself made an outstanding contribution to the advance in the science and engineering" - Cast Metals Journals"This excellent book goes a long way towards bridging the gulf between theory and practice" - Materials Science and Engineering"Entertaining and fun to readwith realism, enthusiasm and a dry sense of humour" - The Metallurgist and Materials Technologist"This is a work which the casting industry should welcome with open arms
"Great book, wonderful insights" according to Prof. I am the author of a popular manufacturing textbook. If you are looking for detailed information about casting processes, pick up one of Campbell's books. They are full of useful information, and reflect his extensive experience in the area.
He is Professor Emeritus of Casting Technology at the University of Birmingham, UK. 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 the originator of the Cosworth Casting Process, the pre-eminent production process for automobile cylinder heads and
