Abstract:Castings and the cast metals are among the most important facets creating a foundation for modern life. Castings have been particularly important for effective light and heavy transport as well as for the machinery required for manufacturing. The key factor making this possible is the ability of metals casting to create near net shape manufacturing with a great degree of freedom in design together with the mechanical properties of the alloys. Metal alloys display a unique combination of stiff and ductile behav… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
