Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys

Download or read book Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys written by Dmitry G. Eskin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-04-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulling together information previously scattered throughout numerous research articles into one detailed resource, this book connects the fundamentals of structure formation during solidification with the practically observed structure and defect patterns in billets and ingots. The author examines the formation of a structure, properties, and defects in the as-cast material in tight correlation to the physical phenomena involved in the solidification and the process parameters. Compiling recent results and data, the book discusses the fundamentals of solidification together with metallurgical and technological aspects of DC casting. It gives new insight and perspective into DC casting research.
