Casting Engineering Material Science Solidification

Casting of metals evolved first as witchcraft, gradually becamean art, then technology, and became only recently a science. Many ofthe processes used in a metal casting are still empirical in nature, but many others are deeply rooted in mathematics. In whatever form, casting of metals is an activity fundamental in the very existence ofour world, as we know it today.Foundry reports indicate that solidification modeling is not only acost-effective investment but also a major technical asset. It helpsfoundries move into markets with more complex and technicallydemanding work. However, to the best of the author's knowledge, therehave been no attempts to synthesize the information that can be usedfor engineering calculations pertinent to computational modeling ofcasting solidification.This book is based on the author's thirty years of experience withteaching, research and the industrial practice of solidificationscience as applied to casting processes. It is an attempt to describesolidification theory through the complex mathematical apparatus thatincludes partial differential equations and numerical analysis, whichare required for a fundamental treatment of the problem. Themathematics, however, is restricted to the element essential to attaina working knowledge of the field. This is in line with the main goalof the book, which is to educate the reader in the fast moving area ofcomputational modeling of solidification of casting. For the sake ofcompleteness, a special effort has been made to introduce the readerto the latest developments in solidification theory, even if thereader has no engineering applications at this time.The text is designed to be self-contained. The author'steachingexperience demonstrates that some of the students interested insolidification science are not fully proficient in partialdifferential equations (PDE) and/or numerical analysis.

This book is designed to introduce plastics to a wide range of readers who need to either gain, improve, or refresh their knowledge of plastic materials and manufacturing. It fully discusses both materials and manufacturing processes in a carefully-constructed and logical presentation. While providing a fundamental overview of a broad spectrum of topics, the author touches upon polymeric materials (molecular viewpoint); micro structures in polymers; mechanical properties (macro viewpoint); chemical and physical properties (macro viewpoint); thermoplastic materials (commodity plastics); thermoplastic materials (engineering plastics); thermoset materials; elastomeric (rubber) materials; designing with plastics; extrusion process; injection molding process; blow molding process; thermoforming process; rotational molding process; casting processes; foaming processes; compression and transfer molding processes; polymeric composite materials and processes; radiation processes; finishing and assembly; environmental aspects of plastics; and operations. For practicing engineering technologists and engineers as well as anyone interested in plastics.

Yield (engineering) - Yield strength, or the yield point, is defined in engineering and materials science as the stress at which a material begins to plastically deform. Prior to the yield point the material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed.

Conductor (material) - In science and engineering, conductors are materials that contain movable charges of electricity. When an electric potential difference is impressed across separate points on a conductor, the mobile charges within the conductor are forced to move, and an electric current between those points appears in accordance with Ohm's law.

Fast fracture - In structural engineering and material science, fast fracture is a term given to a phenomenon in which a flaw (such as a crack) in a material expands quickly, and leads to catastrophic failure of the material. Stress acting on a material when fast fracture occurs is less than the material's yield stress.

University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering - The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto (UofT) is Canada's largest engineering teaching and research institution. The University of Toronto Engineering Society is the community of engineering students at UofT and uses the term Skule, which embodies the engineering spirit at the university.
