Complete Casting Handbook is the result of a long-awaited update, consolidation and expansion of expert John Campbell's market-leading casting books into one essential resource for metallurgists and foundry professionals who design, specify or manufacture metal castings.

The first single-volume guide to cover modern principles and processes in such breadth and depth whilst retaining a clear, practical focus, it includes:

- A logical, two-part structure, breaking the contents down into casting metallurgy and casting manufacture
- Established, must-have information, such as Campbell's '10 Rules' for successful casting manufacture
- New chapters on filling system design, melting, molding, and controlled solidification techniques, plus extended coverage of a new approach to casting metallurgy

Providing in-depth casting knowledge and process know-how, from the noteworthy career of an industry-leading authority, Complete Casting Handbook delivers the expert advice needed to help you make successful and profitable castings.

Zielgruppe

Metallurgists, metals solidification and foundry professionals in industry and academia; cast metal product and process designers; MS&E researchers; national, corporate and academic researchers and libraries.
