Theory of foundry processes

Theory of foundry processes
652-2315/01
čeština

Summary

The subject is focused on the processes describing foundry technology, from the casting itself to its solidification. The course provides theoretical and technological knowledge about the metallurgical processing of iron alloys and non-ferrous metals. It focuses mainly on the relationship between the level of metallurgical processing of the melt and the formation of the micro and macro structure of castings made of steel, graphite cast iron and non-ferrous metals. The causes and mechanisms of the formation of basic casting defects are also presented.
