Metallurgy of Cast Steel

Steel Casting Metallurgy is a comprehensive publication addressing topics in foundry engineering that had been absent from the Czech market. A team of authors with extensive practical experience presents a synthesis of theoretical knowledge with its direct application in the fields of physical and chemical metallurgy, with an emphasis on rational experimentation and its interpretation, on modern analytical techniques, measurement methods and the control of technological processes. Economic criteria in the evaluation of technological variants of metallurgical processes are also addressed. The publication focuses on the technologies and equipment used in steel production in foundries, which currently differ significantly from the conditions of large metallurgical plants. The book is intended for university students specialising in foundry engineering, and also for those in other specialisations where the metallurgy of steel is taught. It may equally serve as a resource for professionals in the field. Readers are expected to have a basic knowledge of physical chemistry."
