      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.

      Blast Furnace Ironmaking: Analysis, Control, and Optimization uses a fundamental first principles approach to prepare a blast furnace mass and energy balance in Excel™. Robust descriptions of the main equipment and systems, process technologies, and best practices used in a modern blast furnace plant are detailed. Optimization tools are provided to help the reader find the best blast furnace fuel mix and related costs, maximize output, or evaluate other operational strategies using the Excel™ model that the reader will develop. The first principles blast furnace Excel™ model allows for more comprehensive process assessments than the 'rules of thumb' currently used by the industry. This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate science and engineering students in the fields of chemical, mechanical, metallurgical and materials engineering. Additionally, steel company engineers, process technologists, and management will find this book useful with its fundamental approach, best practices description, and perspective on the future.
