Fundamentals Of Steel Castings Design (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258531720)

Fundamentals of Steel Castings Design by Charles Willers Briggs is a comprehensive guide to the design of steel castings. The book covers the basic principles of casting design, including material selection, pattern making, gating and risering, and finishing techniques. It also includes detailed information on the properties of steel castings, such as strength, ductility, and toughness, and how these properties can be optimized through design.The book is divided into four parts. Part One provides an overview of the casting process and the properties of steel castings. Part Two covers the design of the casting itself, including the selection of materials, the design of the pattern, and the gating and risering system. Part Three focuses on the finishing of the casting, including heat treatment, machining, and surface finishing. Finally, Part Four provides a comprehensive set of design guidelines and recommendations for steel castings.Throughout the book, Briggs emphasizes the importance of a systematic and analytical approach to casting design. He provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts and techniques, and includes a wealth of practical information on casting design and manufacturing.Overall, Fundamentals of Steel Castings Design is an essential reference for engineers and designers involved in the design and manufacture of steel castings. It provides a comprehensive overview of the casting process, and offers practical guidance on how to optimize the design of steel castings for maximum performance and reliability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
