A welcome update to the second edition, published in 1993, the updated Aluminum Casting Technology will feature the latest information on aluminum casting alloys, melting practices and furnaces, chemical and physical characteristics, design, casting processes,...
1.1 These digital reference images illustrate the types and degrees of discontinuities that may be found in aluminum-alloy castings. The castings illustrated are in thicknesses of 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) and 3/4 in. (19.1?mm). 1.2 All areas of this standard may be open to agreement...
This practical guide to product and process engineering of various aluminum castings emphasizes process and material characteristics; product-process-allo
Purpose. This standard covers the process for determining and reporting the microstructural fineness of aluminum castings. Two (2) methods are presented in this standard: • Method A (Appendix A). Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (SDAS) as measured via the linear intercept method. •...

These digital reference images illustrate the types and degrees of discontinuities that may be found in aluminum-alloy castings. The castings illustrated are in thicknesses of ¼ in. (6.35 mm) and ¾ in. (19.1 mm). All areas of this standard may be open to agreement between the...
Geoffrey Sigworth has written a book based on his many years of experience on the practical and theoretical of aluminum casting. Major topics include: Quality Aluminum Castings; Melting, Melt Treatment and Metal Transfer; Important Fundamentals of Solidification;...
This standard covers digital reference images for inspection of aluminum and magnesium die castings. These digital reference images illustrate various categories, types, and severity levels of discontinuities that may occur in aluminum-alloy and magnesium-alloy die...
1.1 These reference radiographs illustrate the categories and severity levels of discontinuities that may occur in aluminum-alloy and magnesium-alloy die castings. They are intended to provide: 1.1.1 A guide enabling recognition of discontinuities and their differentiation both as to...
APPLICATION SCOPE This standard defines the methods of classifying grades of X-ray or Y-ray radiographs of aluminum casting products. PURPOSE The purpose of this standard is specify procedures for detecting defects through X-ray or Y-ray radiographs of aluminum or...
