The Peters-Robison AFS Metalcasting Library further solidified its position as the largest of its kind in the world when it recently expanded its digital collection to more than 17,000 articles.
Comprising materials from publications such as Modern Casting, Casting Source, AFS Transactions, and AFS conference proceedings, the online library covers technical topics spanning from the 19th century to the present.
