This practical guide to product and process engineering of various aluminum castings emphasizes process and material characteristics

ESI has developed a set of casting simulation software applications for the foundry industry to improve casting yield and quality: QuikCAST – a fast and efficient solution for process evaluation – and ProCAST – an advanced tool which is the result of more than 25 years of collaboration with major industrial partners and academic institutions around the world. QuikCAST is sophisticated sand and die casting simulation software that focuses on the basics of any casting process: filling, casting solidification and porosity prediction.

This modern book on investment casting fills a substantial gap in the literature of metal founding. The investment casting sector of the foundry industry has seen rapid growth; despite this the literature devoted specially to investment casting and its products has remained relatively sparse. Investment Casting has been produced by drawing upon the knowledge of authorities within or closely associated with the industry, in co-operation with the British Investment Casting Trade Association, examining the process and its products in a way which is useful both to the industry and to design engineers. To this end the earlier chapters are devoted to each of the main production stages from tooling to finishing, with health and safety treated separately, commensurate with its current importance.
