Iron Castings Engineering Handbook

An accompanying guide to Aluminum Castings Engineering Guide, this guide explains the interactions of product design (function and manufacturability), materials engineering (the best choice of alloy and microstructure), and process engineering practices (to achieve the properties and integrity of a component at the most comprehensive cost).

Cast iron offers the design engineer a low-cost, high-strength material that can be easily cast into a wide variety of useful, and sometimes complex, shapes. This handbook from ASM covers the entire spectrum of one of the most widely used and versatile of all metals.
