Textbook in PDF format

Basic text which covers melt processing of aluminum silicon alloys. All principal processes; modification, degassing, fluxing, grain refining and filtration are covered in sufficient detail to enable a technically oriented foundryman to establish practices that will produce high quality melts.
While defect analysis per se is not a principal focus of the book, the knowledge conveyed on melt processes can assist in developing solutions for many metallurgically related defects, and the causes of less than optimum mechanical properties.
The reader will find this volumen to be a very useful addition to their library on aluminum casting practices
