Product Description
This text was developed for students, process engineers, and manufacturing engineers who wish to apply the quantitative fundamentals of heat transfer to the metal casting industry. This second edition includes the conversion throughout, to the more universally acceptable SI units. Considered to be a fundamental teaching book, the numerous examples throughout make it ideal for an undergraduate course in materials processing or manufacturing. The first two chapters review heat transfer and concepts pertaining to solidification. The middle chapters emphasize conduction heat transfer and casting solidification. Finally, the last two chapters show how heat transfer during solidification can be used in riser design and also supply an introduction to numerical methods for those students or casting engineers who wish to venture further.

Heat Transfer Fundamentals for Metal Casting, with SI Units

Product Description
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”. 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.
