Features: This book is divided into three parts. Part I Metal-Cast Mold Interface Interaction, clarifies the phenomena of metal-cast mold interface interaction, the generation mechanisms of major casting defects, and prevention methods; Part II Molding Sand and Core Manufacturing, integrates molding materials and molding processes, discussing the basic specifications of pattern (core) sand raw materials, performance requirements of clay sand and chemical binder sand, bonding or hardening mechanisms, application prospects, quality control and inspection methods, as well as the role and composition of coatings. Part III Casting Processes and Tooling Design, elaborates on the fundamental content of process design, scheme determination, the establishment and design of gating and riser systems, metal filtration technology, and the design of process equipment. The book includes necessary review questions and exercises. Reflecting the latest achievements in content and adopting a progressive narrative style from simple to complex, it emphasizes the connection between theory and practice, making it a textbook for undergraduate students of casting in higher industrial institutions. It can also serve as a reference for postgraduate students in casting, engineering technicians in factories and research institutions, as well as casting workers with equivalent educational backgrounds.
