Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys

Drawing from the author's pioneering research and providing the viewpoint of physical metallurgy, this book examines structure and defect formation that occurs during direct chill casting. This viewpoint, not found elsewhere, is especially useful in connecting the fundamentals of structure formation with observed defect patterns found in billets and ingots. Each technology-centered chapter covers both history and current developments. The conclusions are supported with computer simulation results correlated with highly progressive experimental data.Eskin, Dmitry G. is the author of 'Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum Alloys ', published 2008 under ISBN 9781420062816 and ISBN 1420062816.
