This book is aimed specifically at engineers and technologists working in the metalcasting industry. Microstructure Development During Metalcasting can also be used by teaching professionals, as much of the material was compiled over a 30-year period, making the book suitable as an undergraduate text in metallurgical or foundry engineering. The book also concentrates on the processes of solidification in order to provide the reader expanded knowledge of what occurs when a casting freezes.
The book is not metal specific; therefore, it can be used by people in either the ferrous or nonferrous industries.
