SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Covers the process as applied to the light metals aluminium and magnesium. Only book targeted specifically towards the industrial researcher and practitioner. Pulls together both the practice and the process of physics in such a way as to assist improvement of process performance Contains coverage of the upstream and downstream linked processes in addition to the knowledge required to produce high quality DC castings "--
Text of Note
"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. 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. 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"--
