Complete Casting Handbook, Second Edition: Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design

Campbell s Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Techniques and Design, Second Edition provides an update to the first single-volume guide to cover modern principles and processes in such breadth and depth, while also retaining a clear, practical focus.

The work 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 includes new findings, many from John Campbell s own research, on crack initiation, contact pouring, vortex gates, and the Cosworth Process.

• Delivers the expert advice that engineers need to make successful and profitable casting decisions
• Ideal reference for those interested in solidification, vortex gates, nucleation, biofilm, remelting, and molding
• Follows a logical, two-part structure that covers both casting metallurgy and casting manufacture
• Contains established, must-have information, such as Campbell s 10 Rules for successful casting manufacture
• Includes numerous updates and revisions based on recent breakthroughs in the industry
