Solidification and Cast Structure
Description:... This practical guide presents a comprehensive account of solidification processes in metals and alloys and describes the manner in which cast structure arises. Reviews the principle features of solidification theory in an accessible and easily understood manner. Relates the solidification and cast structure process to different industrial processes such as conventional casting, continuous casting, welding, and rapid solidification. Provides concise descriptions of structure formation in cast steel, cast iron and aluminum. Includes treatment of cast ceramics, glass, metal-nonmetal structures, rapid solidification, welding, and continuous casting processes.
