    • Complete Casting Handbook

      Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design
      • 3rd Edition
      • John Campbell
      • English
      Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design, Third Edition provides modern principles and processes in both breadth and depth while also retaining a clear, practical focus. The book 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 has been thoroughly revised, with updated sections on extended fluidity, additive manufacturing of molds, porosity as an entrainment defect, tensile properties and other failure aspects, metrology and much more. The third edition has also been updated to include two brand new chapters, one focused on avoidance of fracture through good casting, and the other on sustainability in the casting industry.
