The Peters-Robison AFS Metalcasting Library continues to grow as the world’s largest and most comprehensive metalcasting library, recently expanding its digital collection to over 18,500 listings.
This comprehensive collection features technical content from key AFS publications, including AFS Transactions, Modern Casting, Casting Source, and AFS conference proceedings. Covering developments from the 19th century to present day, this resource offers in-depth information across the Metalcasting Industry. The online library is an exclusive benefit for AFS members, supporting innovation, process improvement and problem-solving issues throughout the casting process. Members can access the library by visiting AFSinc.org/library.
AFS members can also access the library through the Liberty Link app, making it easy to search by author, title, keyword and more. Listings can also be saved and quickly retrieved using the My Catalog feature. To help take full advantage of these tools, including the app, My Catalog and search options, tutorials are available on the library home page. For tailored support, contact Assistant Technical Director of Metalcasting Services Bo Wallace at bwallace@afsinc.org for personalized help.
***Please note that members may have to re-link and re-log back into the app, with their library QR code after app updates.***
Members can also utilize the AFS Library Advanced AI Search tool to navigate and quickly find relevant articles based on their specific needs. This search feature reduces search time and ensures that members can access critical information faster than before.
