Expendable Pattern Casting
Expendable Pattern Casting by Raymond W. Monroe provides a detailed examination of expendable pattern casting processes, including matchplate, three-plate, gated pattern, and cope-drag techniques used in foundry practice. The book emphasizes the principles of mold and pattern design, material selection for patterns and cores, and gating systems that influence metal flow and solidification. It also addresses quality control, defect analysis, and practical considerations for producing reliable castings in various ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Serving as a practical reference for engineers, technicians, and students in manufacturing and materials engineering, this work helps readers understand both foundational theory and hands-on methods for producing high-quality expendable pattern castings.
