Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Techniques and Design 1st Edition

My son wanted this book for Christmas so I was happy that I was able to find it. Thank you.

Brilliant indepth research workVery helpfull in achieving perfection

I'm a metallurgist at a sand casting foundry. I've seen the problems with the conventional system of casting. Although we haven't adopted Campbell's methods wholesale, they make a lot of sense from a theoretical physical metallurgy perspective. The creation of entrainment defects does occur from the interation of metal and air(oxygen). These oxides have a higher melting temperature than metal and are seen in the end result of the casting process. Quality inspection show tears (though these are often a result of thermal stresses, they still need an origin), slag and sand inclusions that a properly designed filling system should be able to avoid.The text focuses primarily on aluminium alloys. Although it often lacks exact specifics, it is overall a very thorough general guide on the theory of the latest research in the field and with some essential recomendations for improvement.

Probably the most complete book about foundry technology, runner systems in particular. On top of things, John Campbell has a nice writing style, so despite 1000+ pages its not a dry read

just as described
