Component casting has many design advantages, especially when complex geometries are required. There are many options and challenges in producing efficient casting designs, and this publication acquaints readers with fundamental information about how casting design influences casting solidification and how casting solidification influences casting properties. Mechanical property data, especially for dynamic properties, are also described in details for cast iron, steel, and aluminum.
