Abstract

Steel Castings Handbook, Sixth Edition contains information and engineering data relevant to the design, manufacture, and application of steel castings. The book's content is organized into five multiple-chapter sections, covering the design process, manufacturing equipment and procedures, purchasing, detailed application examples, and material selection for property optimization and manufacturability. The handbook also includes an appendix with composition and hardness data for a wide range of casting alloys and coverage on heat treatments, molding methods, redesign for casting, and the effect of quality on component performance. With its detailed explanations and extensive use of illustrations, the book serves equally well as a reference, text, or guide for both new and experienced engineers.
