This three-book set offers product-process development and problem solving of aluminum and iron and steel castings in a variety of industries, in addition to coverage of engineering details of casting equipment. The books also offer structured approaches to linking functionality and manufacturability—an invaluable resource for product designers, process engineers, and engineering students.
Casting Equipment Engineering Guide (2024)
This guide covers engineering details of casting equipment, their design features, applications, capabilities, and selection guidelines. It covers all aspects of shape casting from the flow of raw materials to product inspection and testing. The book provides information on the design and operation of equipment, the calculation of important parameters, and the considerations involved in selecting the right process and equipment to produce iron, steel, and aluminum castings for specific applications.
Iron and Steel Castings Engineering Guide (2021)
This engineering guide explains the interactions of product design (for function and manufacturability), materials engineering (for the best choice of alloy and microstructure), and process engineering practices (to achieve the properties and integrity of a component at the most comprehensive cost).
Aluminum Castings Engineering Guide (2018)
This guide to product and process engineering of various aluminum castings emphasizes process and material characteristics; product-process-alloy integration; manufacturing aspects of aluminum casting; product design features; tooling design, feeding and gating design; product quality needs and specifications; product launches; and successful conversions of aluminum from steel and iron.
