Reviews for Castings
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book provides a great review of current metalcasting research. I do not agree with several of the theories put forward by the author, but it is still a valuable book. If you want a book that provides a thorough treatment of the entire casting process, this is not the book for you.
