Description

“”The Production of Malleable Castings”” is a comprehensive guide to the processes involved in the manufacture of malleable cast iron. Written by Richard Moldenke and originally published in 1910, this practical treatise provides a detailed overview of the techniques and materials used to produce high-quality malleable castings. The book begins with an introduction to the properties and characteristics of malleable cast iron, followed by a discussion of the various types of furnaces and equipment used in the casting process. The author then delves into the specifics of preparing and melting the iron, including the use of different types of fuel and fluxes.Next, the book covers the core-making process, including the selection of core materials, core-making machines, and core baking. The author also includes a section on pattern-making and molding, including the design and construction of patterns and the various types of molding machines used in the industry.The final chapters of the book focus on the finishing and inspection of malleable castings, including cleaning, machining, and testing for quality and durability. Throughout the book, the author provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the various processes involved in the production of malleable castings.Overall, “”The Production of Malleable Castings”” is an essential resource for anyone involved in the casting industry or interested in the history and development of malleable cast iron. It provides a wealth of practical information and insights into the complex processes involved in producing high-quality castings, making it a valuable reference for engineers, designers, and students of metallurgy and materials science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
