A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of American foundry practice, offering a detailed guide to the intricacies of creating sound and durable castings. Published in 1891, the book reflects the industrial innovations and challenges of the late 19th century, a time when cast iron was a vital material in both machinery and infrastructure. The author, a practical iron molder and foundry foreman, goes beyond simply outlining techniques. He dissects the critical role of design in achieving sound castings, highlighting the importance of understanding how the shape and structure of a piece can impact its strength and susceptibility to defects. He then moves into the heart of the foundry, examining the processes involved in mold-making, pouring, and gating, offering insights into the impact of different methods on the final product. The author emphasizes the importance of attention to detail and careful planning in minimizing common flaws such as scabs, blow-holes, and shrinkage, arguing that these seemingly minor imperfections can significantly compromise the integrity of a casting. The book's exploration of these issues provides a valuable and still relevant glimpse into the complexities of foundry practice, demonstrating how expert skill and a deep understanding of the physical properties of materials are essential for producing high-quality castings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
