Items related to Castings
This text, intended for the use of final-year students in metallurgy or engineering, deals with the techniques of casting, the difficulties, the processes and also, the excitement of achieving a new casting, described as an "explosion of interacting events". The book examines these intricate, interlocking events that make up a casting, dealing with gaseous interactions, solidification and shrinkage, linear contraction, accuracy and the structure, defects and properties of the finished cast. Much of the author's expertise was gained during the development of the "Cosworth Process" by the Cosworth Group.

Book Description:
Second edition of well-known book by a renowned author and innovator in the castings field.
From the Back Cover:
Castings, Second Edition
John Campbell
The new metallurgy of cast metals
Reviews of the first edition:
"This excellent book goes a long way towards bridging the gulf between theory and practice... The text is readable, accurate and lively. It combines usefulness to the foundryman with great interest for those researching in the solidification area and suitability as an undergraduate text."
Materials Science and Technology Journal
"Castings is a must reference for all foundry engineers and castings designers."
American Foundrymens Society
"No foundry, and no foundry technologist, can afford to be without it."
Foundry Trade Journal
This is the key publication for professionals and students in the metallurgy and foundry field. Fully revised and expanded, Castings Second Edition covers the latest developments in the understanding of the role of the liquid metal in controlling the properties of cast materials, and indeed, of all metallic materials that have started in the cast form. Practising foundry engineers, designers, and students will find the revealing insights into the behaviour of castings essential in developing their inderstanding and practice.
John Campbell OBE is a leading international figure in the castings industry, with over four decades of experience. He is the originator of the Cosworth Casting Process, the pre-eminent production process for automobile cylinder heads and blocks. He is also co-inventor of both the Baxi Casting Process (now owned by Alcoa) developed in the UK, and the newly emerging Alotech Casting Process in the USA. He is Professor of Casting Technology at the University of Birmingham, UK.
