DESCRIPTION:
Direct-chill casting is the major production route for wrought aluminium and magnesium alloys that are later deformed (rolled, extruded, forged) to the final products. The first book targeted for the industrial researcher and practitioner, it pulls together the practice and process of physics with the goal of improving process performance.. To aid in this process, this book provides comprehensive coverage on topics such as the history of process development in this field, industrial applications, including vertical and horizontal casting, melt preparation, fundamentals of solidification in DC casting, and more
His main scientific contributions are in physical metallurgy of aluminium alloys and solidification processing.Ian F. Grandfield is a well-known specialist in casting and solidification of light metals. He is an active presenter and organizer of workshops and lectures.DMITRY G. JOHN F. ESKIN, PhD, is Professor at Brunel University. Dr. Bainbridge, PhD, managed production operations and conducted R&D in the aluminium industry for fifty
The authors of the book are international leaders in the field of solidification and casting research and technology. Emphasizing the needs of industrial research and practice, the book explains how the physico-chemical, thermo-physical, and thermo-mechanical aspects of light alloys all play major roles in the formation of the structure, defects, and properties of the casting.Direct-Chill Casting of Light Alloys begins with an historical overview and then examines liquid metal supply, alloy preparation, and melt transport. The material presented is based on a thorough review of the literature and current practice as well as the authors' firsthand experience in research and industry.Direct-Chill Casting of Light Alloys enables technicians, engineers, and researchers to apply all the latest science and technology to solving t
"One of the best texts for those working with DC processes" according to Henio De Nicola. One of the best texts for those working with DC processes. Plain of explanations in each step, as in all texts where D.G. Eskin participates as an author.
