Abstract

Each chapter of Professor Cambell's new book Castings Practice will take a look at one of his 10 rules. It is to be expected that the Rules wil one day be taken as an outline or blueprint for an international specification on the methods for making reliable castings.
John Cambell has over two decades of experience in the casting industry and is the author of over 40 technical papers and patents. He has become well-known in the foundry industry as the originator of the Cosworth casting process, which is becoming accepted throughout the world as a new production process for the casting of cylinder heads and blocks. He is now Federal Mogul Professor of Casting Technology at the University of Birmingham.
* Must-follow rules of castings, from one of the world's leading experts
* Companion volume to the renowned book 'Castings'
* Accessible and direct, provides essential information for students of metallurgy and foundry professionals alike
"Castings Practice is a book that everyone associated with Foundry Technology should possess, but particularly those involved in the actual design and manufacture of castings such as Method Engineers, Production Engineers and Foundry Management." - Tom Sutton, CEng Hon FICME, MIMechE ICME Technical Board
"Throughout, this book is packed with useful information... as a manual to guide the purchasers or specifiers of castings this book has started a trend that is long overdue." Dr R Fenn FIMMM, Materials World, April 2005
"Castings Practice gives a valuable methodology of designing castings and molds...the book, without doubt, will serve as a valuable knowledge source for many years to come." - Journal of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society, D. Eskin, Netherlands Institute for Metals
