Features: The Casting Handbook is divided into six volumes: Cast Iron, Cast Steel, Cast Non-ferrous Alloys, Molding Materials, Casting Processes, and Special Casting. This book is the second volume, Cast Steel. The second edition is a comprehensive revision based on the first edition. It updates many technical standards and process specifications, improves and supplements new technical content, and reflects technological development trends. This volume consists of thirteen chapters: The Introduction covers the brief history, prospects, and outlook of the cast steel industry and its applications. The chapters on Basic Knowledge, Melting of Casting Steels, In-process Refining of Casting Steels, Heat Treatment of Cast Steel Parts, and Quality Inspection of Cast Steel Parts respectively introduce the fundamental knowledge required for preparing cast steel parts, various melting methods and their development trends, heat treatment process knowledge, and the basic principles of quality inspection. The chapters on Classification and Designation Methods of Cast Steels, General Engineering and Structural Cast Carbon Steels and High-Strength Cast Steels, Cast Medium- and Low-Alloy Steels, Cast Stainless and Heat-resistant Steels, and Cast Special and Specialty Steels respectively introduce the standards, designations, chemical compositions, microstructures, properties, and application characteristics of various cast steels. The Cast Steel Purchasing Guide covers the quality and value engineering, inquiry and ordering, production inspection, and product acceptance that must be understood when purchasing cast steel parts. The Appendices list the latest and applicable relevant materials. This handbook is primarily intended for technical personnel engaged in casting production and can also be used as a reference for research personnel in material research and students and teachers in relevant disciplines at universities and colleges.
