Advances in Aluminium Casting Technology II

(Proceedings of the Second International Aluminum Casting Technology Symposium, Columbus, Ohio, October 2002).

Features papers that address the improvement of casting quality and reliability through a better understanding of processes and process variables.

Planned topic coverage expected to include papers on: Design and development of reliable processes that minimize scatter in properties and consistently produce high quality castings Gating system and feeder design and their effect on quality Process-structure-property relationships Prediction and control of internal stresses during solidification Production and properties of aluminum-matrix composites Modeling of mold-filling and solidification Treatment of liquid aluminum casting alloys Heat treatment design and processes for cast aluminum alloys.
