Book Description
"Casting Defects in Gray and Ductile Iron" is an essential technical guide for professionals, students, and anyone passionate about metallurgy and foundry work. Based on real shop floor experience and supported by solid technical literature, the book offers a practical and structured approach to identifying the main defects that can occur in cast iron parts, both gray and ductile.
Organized into nine chapters, the book begins with a historical overview of the foundry world, highlighting its importance in industrial development. It then presents a clear and systematic classification of defects, divided according to their origins: fusion, molding, finishing, engineering, and quality control.
Each type of defect is explored with real examples, images, probable causes, and corrective actions, making this book a hands-on tool for diagnosing and preventing failures in the production process.
The final chapter features a comprehensive case study, bridging theory and practice, and includes a concise technical glossary to support the understanding of terms commonly used in the foundry field.
