Foundry Technology brings together basic metal casting phenomena,
foundry techniques and product characteristics in a single work of
reference. Peter Beeley was a foundry manager before he became a senior
lecturer in metallurgy, and subsequently maintained continuous links
with the castings industry and associated research activities and
publications. His book is designed to serve as a bridge between the
study of the basic principles of metal founding and their application in
the producing and user industries. A particular aim of Foundry
Technology is to assist engineers and engineering students in
appreciating the role of castings in design and materials selection.
Orthodox and specialized casting processes, and both ferrous and
non-ferrous founding are considered on a comparative basis, and the
place of castings in design is critically examined and related to other
products. The revised edition takes account of the main changes in
casting processes and products since the publication of the original
edition in 1972. While retaining treatments of basic aspects of molding,
solidification, cast structures and feeding, newer developments in
modeling and rapid prototyping are reviewed, together with quality,
environmental, health and other issues of growing importance.
