Technological Methods of Workpieces Manufacturing Metal Casting

Abstract

Manual «Technological methods of workpieces manufacturing. Castings» provides the knowledge regarding different foundry processes and their industrial importance. It is considered the modern techniques of processing raw materials by casting as an important stage of solving the tasks of designing technological processes of manufacturing the parts. Manual includes fundamentals of metal casting, the evolution of foundry industry, basic casting techniques, the metal casting operations, methods of manufacturing the cast blanks; the most rational variants of their manufacturing; equipment, tools and machining attachments for making workpieces of machine elements and parts in different process specifications and conditions. Also focused on efficient design of casting runner, riser, gating system with minimal casting defects and solidification process. Recommended for students of first (Bachelor of Science) level of higher education, 13 «Mechanical Engineering» major, 131 «Applied Mechanics» specialism, and can also be useful for engineering and technical specialists of foundry technologies in the mechanical engineering industry.
