Non-Ferrous Foundry Metallurgy: The Science of Melting and Casting Non-Ferrous Metals and Alloys (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258803995)

Non-Ferrous Foundry Metallurgy: The Science of Melting and Casting Non-Ferrous Metals and Alloys is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of non-ferrous foundry metallurgy. Written by Alfred John Murphy, an expert in the field, this book covers the entire process of melting and casting non-ferrous metals and alloys, from the selection of raw materials to the final inspection of the finished product.The book begins with an introduction to the properties and characteristics of non-ferrous metals and alloys, and then moves on to cover the different types of furnaces and melting techniques used in foundries. The author provides detailed information on the various alloys used in non-ferrous foundry metallurgy, including copper, aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and nickel alloys.Other topics covered in the book include the design and construction of molds, the use of cores and core materials, and the various methods of casting, including sand casting, investment casting, and die casting. The book also includes information on quality control and inspection techniques, as well as safety considerations and environmental concerns.Non-Ferrous Foundry Metallurgy is an essential reference for anyone involved in the production of non-ferrous metals and alloys, including foundry managers, metallurgists, engineers, and students of metallurgy and materials science. With its clear and concise explanations, practical examples, and detailed illustrations, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of non-ferrous foundry metallurgy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
