The second issue of the International Journal of Metalcasting will be released in January 2008. This issue will feature 6 papers, including one on "Recent Developments on Ultrasonic Cavitation Based Solidification Processing of Bulk Magnesium Nanocomposites" by G. Cao, H. Konishi and X. Li, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, that will discuss the potential to double the strength of aluminum castings with only a 1-2% addition of nano-sized particles of Silicon and Carbon. A second paper titled "Age Strengthening of Gray Iron–Kinetics Study" by V.L. Richards, T.V. Anish, S. Lekakh, D.C. Van Aken, Univ. of Missouri–Rolla, W. Nicola, Warsaw, Ind., will discuss improvements in machinability along with increases in strength that have been observed, and now documented for gray cast iron. Don't delay, subscribe now to receive the leading transfer of research and technology to the global metalcasting industry.
