New Book On The Science And Technology Of Semi-Solid Metal Processing
NADCA has recently published a book on "Science and Technology of Semi-Solid Metal Processing." The result of a joint effort of MPI, the ACRC Consortium Members and the North-American Die Casting Association, this book is divided in seven chapters and covers the history, the various processing routes, the physical metallurgy of SSM, practical processing considerations, SSM simulation and rheology, economic considerations and illustrative case studies. This book is intended to be a living document, and will be periodically updated as SSM casting continues to evolve and new insights and understanding are gained. NADCA Corporate Members receive a 50% discount off listed prices (25% discount for Individual Members). The listed price is $100.00.
