Casting is basically described as a manufacturing process through which a liquid material is solidified with the help of a mould which consists of a hollow cavity of the desired shape. This book consists of different science and technology factors that require careful consideration for casting production. It includes contributions by various professionals with extensive experience in their respective areas. This book discusses topics such as simulation of continuous casting process, control of solidification of continuous castings, effect of mold flux in constant casting, segregation in strip casting of steel, and advancements in shell and solid investment mold methods. It also elucidates various issues related to permanent molding of cast iron, pressure control during filling sand molds, wear resistant castings, and progress in the accurate estimation of graphite nodularity in ductile iron castings.
