Directional Solidification of Steel Castings summarizes the results of a large number of investigations, mostly scientific in character, on the directional solidification of steel castings. The influence of design on the technical possibilities of producing casting in the foundry is examined. Diagrams, simple basic rules, and formulae are provided, along with many practical examples. This book is comprised of 16 chapters and begins with an introduction to the technical and psychological aspects of steel casting before turning to a discussion of the influence of shape and dimensions on the time it takes for castings to solidify. The thermal gradient, feeder heads, and cavities in steel castings are then considered. In particular, the effect of the thermal gradient on solidification and feeding range are examined. Methods for increasing the thermal gradient in the casting are described, including the use of mold heating pads, breaker cores or Washburn cores; external cooling (iron chills); cooling fins; internal chills; and exothermic pads. Cavities in steel castings which are commonly mistaken for true shrinkage cavities are also analyzed. This monograph is particularly suitable for foundry managers, foremen, technicians, casting designers, and students.

Machine Design, an ocean for mechanical engineers, requires the basic knowledge of mechanical engineering design that is provided with the help of step by step approach followed in a design data book. Keeping this in mind, this handbook is framed as per the latest syllabi followed in the universities, which presents the subject in a concise and step by step manner. This data book with latest standards and codes brings all the formulae and data required to solve the easiest to the most complex machine design problems under one umbrella. With fully updated data in SI units, it is loaded with numerous figures, tables and formulas. Design Data Handbook is the outcome of the author’s several decades of experience in teaching technicians in Design Engineering in Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Following a problem-solving approach, this handbook provides an opportunity to the students of Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering, and Automobile Engineering to learn to tackle the machine design problems and to apply their knowledge across the full spectrum of challenges facing the engineering/scientific communities.

Machine Design Data Handbook is meant for Mechanical, Production and Industrial Engineering branches. The book contains data in the form of equations, tables and graphs. The first chapter deals with the basic equations derived in mechanics of materials and helps in determining stresses in machine elements under various loading situations. The second chapter contains data of mechanical properties of various engineering materials used for the machine elements. The third chapter deals with the various theories used for predicting failures under the static and fluctuating loads. It also deals with the methods used for estimating the life to failure under variable loadings. The chapter on fits and tolerances is intended to help in specifying the manufacturing tolerances. These chapters are useful in solving any general design problems. The remaining chapters are dedicated to individual machine elements. The standard procedures adopted for each machine is presented in individual chapters. A new chapter "Vibrations" has also been added in this edition. The standards prescribed by ISI ( BIS )< ISO and AGMA Standards organisations are included. The S.I. system of units has been adopted through the book. A short list of conversion factors for important quantities is given in the beginning. A complete list of conversion factors for the various physical quantities is given in the Appendix at the end of the book. These are useful in solving problems in Metric units also. Thus, the book is useful for both the systems of units. The book is intended to train the students, teachers and practicing engineers for solving and preparation of working design projects.

The rate of growth of stainless steel has outpaced that of other metals and alloys, and by 2010 may surpass aluminum as the second most widely used metal after carbon steel. The 2007 world production of stainless steel was approximately 30,000,000 tons and has nearly doubled in the last ten years. This growth is occurring at the same time that the production of stainless steel continues to become more consolidated. One result of this is a more widespread need to understand stainless steel with fewer resources to provide that information. The concurrent technical evolution in stainless steel and increasing volatility of raw material prices has made it more important for the engineers and designers who use stainless steel to make sound technical judgments about which stainless steels to use and how to use them.
