General Foundry Practice: A Practical Guide for Iron Casting
This technical reference is a thorough guide for foundry men and students working with pig-iron and cast-iron parts. It explains how composition, impurities, and cooling affect fracture and strength, and shows why mixing by analysis can improve quality. The book also covers how elements like silicon, manganese, and sulfur influence carbon forms, hardness, and brittleness, with practical implications for selecting materials and adjusting processes.
- Learn how different ore sources and charges impact phosphorus, manganese, and silicon levels in pig irons.
- Understand how carbon exists as combined or graphitic forms and how cooling rate and composition change final properties.
- See how to apply analysis-based mixing to achieve consistent results across batches.
- Get guidance on predicting and adjusting the effects of impurities to meet casting needs.
