PRESENTED here are the most important developments and improvements relative to static ferrous castings made in recent years, along with an analysis of the influence they may have on future design and manufacturing methods of the automotive, aircraft, and related industries.
These developments have been due, in part, Mr. Vennerholm believes, to wartime necessities, which are requiring castings capable of taking higher stresses than ever before.
As a result, new steels and molding materials have been introduced, as well as improvements in melting, molding, and heat-treat techniques, better methods of inspection, and greater uniformity of product.
