High Integrity Die Castings (Sound, Reliable & Heat Treatable)

In the early 2000, we prepared a monograph, which was published by NADCA on Semi-Solid Processing.  This book is a sequel and is much more encompassing in that it addresses high integrity die castings – covering alloys, molten metal processing, casting processes, and post-solidification processes. By high integrity die-castings, we imply castings that are sound, reliable, and heat treatable, and thus the title of this book. The book is organized by addressing the various high integrity process families such as squeeze casting, semi-solid processing, and high vacuum processes.
