ONE OF A FOUR-BOOK COLLECTION SPOTLIGHTING CLASSIC ARTICLES
Original research findings and reviews spanning all aspectsof the science and technology of casting
Since 1971, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society haspublished the Light Metals proceedings. Highlighting some ofthe most important findings and insights reported over the pastfour decades, this volume features the best original researchpapers and reviews on cast shop science and technology for aluminumproduction published in Light Metals from 1971 to 2011.
Papers have been divided into ten subject sections for ease ofaccess. Each section has a brief introduction and a list ofrecommended articles for researchers interested in exploring eachsubject in greater depth.
Only 12 percent of the cast shop science and technology papersever 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 expertreviews summarizing current thinking on key topics at the time ofpublication.
From basic research to industry standards to advancedapplications, the articles published in this volume collectivelyrepresent a complete overview of cast shop science and technology, supporting the work of students, researchers, and engineers aroundthe world.
