Learn how to cast metal in sand molds using simple techniques and readily available materials. Steve Chastain, a Mechanical and Materials Engineer, shows the beginner how to make a sand mold and then how to hone your skill to produce high quality castings. Written in non-technical terms, the sand casting manuals begine by melting cans over a charcoal fire and end by casting a cylinder head. All for little cost in your own back yard! The Sand Casting Manuals are good for both the beginner and experianced metalcaster.

The Continuous Casting 2000 symposium maintains the tradition established in 1976 of holding regular events. This millennium event, however, is the first international meeting of the series. The aim is to highlight the importance of continuous casting - of aluminum, copper and magnesium - to the international fabricating industry, focusing on technological advances in all the sectors that are important for the manufacture of high quality continuous cast products.

Component casting has many design advantages, especially when complex geometries are required. There are many options and challenges in producing efficient casting designs, and this publication acquaints readers with fundamental information about how casting design influences casting solidification and how casting solidification influences casting properties. Mechanical property data, especially for dynamic properties, are also described in details for cast iron, steel, and aluminum

Every important facet of casting is dealt with, from the basics of good hand position to the complexities of fly presentation and the double haul. Fishing sequences for trout, bonefish and silver salmon in the Bahamas, Oregon, Florida and Alaska add to the excitement.

Learn how the CIA agent gets behind locked doors. This revised reprint of the classic CIA Key Casting Instruction Manual will teach you how to make a duplicate key when you can keep the original for only a short time. A step-by-step, self-checking guide, it gives you all the know-how you need to create accurate keys to gain access to off-limits areas with no special equipment.

The better you can cast, the more you'll enjoy fly-fishing. With good casting technique you can place the fly where you want it, effortlessly and with precision and grace, even when wind or obstructions conspire against you. In Master the Cast, George V. Roberts Jr., a lifelong fly-fisher and sought-after instructor, walks you through a course that breaks the complicated mechanics into a few simple components. Then, with the help of hundreds of photos and illustrations

t's about time that a practicing engineer with casting and academic experience has written a book that provides answers to questions about squeeze casting and semi-solid molding/forming that many engineers and students of casting need answered."

Since the inception of the "Modern Ceramics Era," usually defined as during or slightly following World War II, there have been several advances in ceramic processing technology. One of the newest and most prolific of these advances has been the development and implementation of tape casting as a manufacturing process for the production of thin sheets of just about any material that can be produced as a powder. In today's arena, this includes products ranging from metallic electrodes to organic lithium polymer battery components to the more standard ceramic substrate materials

This is an excellent fly casting video, presented by one of the best fly casting instructors around. Joan takes you from the basic casts to very advanced casting techniques. This video is good for both beginners and expert fly fishers alike. Enjoy!

Describes the sand foundry, the characteristics of molding sand, the types of mold and pattern making equipment, and the various sand casting procedures for forming metals.

Science and Engineering of Casting Solidification, Second Edition covers the essentials of solidification science of metals and alloys at macro- and micro-length scales at cooling rates specific to commercial castings and rapid solidification processing. The mathematical fundamentals necessary to build a working knowledge in the field, specifically partial differential equations and numerical analysis, are introduced. Each topic begins with the description of the underlying physics

Learn the modern techniques of silicone and stone mold making from industry professionals. Then learn how to pour a rubber mask and a plastic resin casting from those same molds. The lessons performed are concise and engaging. The materials used are readily available through various mold supply companies or on the internet.

Rapid Tooling Guidelines for Sand Casting describes the guidelines for the sand casting industry in using rapid tooling processes. Topics in the seven chapters include sand casting processes, tool design and construction, fast freeform fabrication processes, rapid tooling processes, sand casting dimension control, rapid tooling evaluation methods and decision making processes. Twelve case studies will also be examined in the book.
