Technology for Magnesium Castings: Design, Products & Applications
Paperback – 2011
by American Foundry Society (Author), Mahi Sahoo (Principal Author)
Available at Amazon.com
Published by the American Foundry Society, 2011, 314 pages. Magnesium is a structural material with low density and very high strength to weight ratio. As a result, it will reduce vehicle weight and in turn reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase fuel economy. Valuable information is provided on alloys and their physical metallurgy and solidification behavior, melt control, process control, heat treatment, materials selection and various casting processes. The book is of interest to those in the metal casting industry, especially design and process engineers, and students of metallurgy, materials science, and metal casting.
Book description: The publication of this book is very timely in view of the important role magnesium contributes to the transportation industry and other industrial applications using the latest casting and processing technologies. Being a structural material with low density and a very high strength-to-weight ratio, magnesium can reduce vehicle weight and in turn reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase fuel economy. In Technology for Magnesium Castings, valuable information is provided on melt control, process control, casting and solidification, heat treatment, materials selection and various casting processes such as sand, permanent mold, high pressure die, lost foam, ablation ad semi-solid casting. This publication will be of great interest to many individuals involved in the metal-casting industry, especially the casting designer and process engineer. It will also be an invaluable tool for students of metallurgy, materials science and metal-casting. The 18 chapter authors are world-class scientists, professors and engineers with countless years of industrial and laboratory experience. The knowledge gained from their work, research and teaching has been incorporated to provide only the latest information to the reader. Each chapter was reviewed by qualified metallurgists/materials engineers from the metal-casting industry, academia and research laboratories to ensure that only the highest quality information was accepted for publication.
