Klappentext ONE OF A FOUR-BOOK COLLECTION SPOTLIGHTING CLASSIC ARTICLESOriginal research findings and reviews spanning all aspects of the science and technology of castingSince 1971! The Minerals! Metals & Materials Society has published the Light Metals proceedings. Highlighting some of the most important findings and insights reported over the past four decades! this volume features the best original research papers and reviews on cast shop science and technology for aluminum production published in Light Metals from 1971 to 2011.Papers have been divided into ten subject sections for ease of access. Each section has a brief introduction and a list of recommended articles for researchers interested in exploring each subject in greater depth.Only 12 percent of the cast shop science and technology papers ever published in Light Metals were chosen for this volume. Selection was based on a rigorous review process. Among the papers! readers will find landmark original research findings and expert reviews summarizing current thinking on key topics at the time of publication.From basic research to industry standards to advanced applications! the articles published in this volume collectively represent a complete overview of cast shop science and technology! supporting the work of students! researchers! and engineers around the world. Zusammenfassung The third volume in the Essential Readings in Light Metals series! this book features meticulously selected articles on the state of the art of casting technology for aluminum production. Many articles describe major breakthroughs in the technology or our understanding of the underlying phenomena with significant impact for the industry.
