No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1976–77 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The principles of static and continuous casting processes including sand, investment, die and various continuous casting techniques. Review of heat transfer, fluid flow and solidification theory as it applies to casting. Gating, runner, sprue and riser design in static castings. Origin of various casting defects including hot tears, distortion, solidification shrinkage and residual stresses.
As printed in the 1985–86 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
