Practical Alloying Handbook: A hands-on guide to alloys, melting, and casting for foundries and metalworkers delivers a broad, practical look at metals from ancient origins to modern techniques.

Learn how alloys are created, refined, and used in everyday castings, with clear guidance for hands-on work in foundries. This edition compiles practical methods, alloy families, and casting practices that help readers understand how different metals behave in melting, mixing, and forming. It emphasizes usable techniques, safe handling, and reliable results for a wide range of castings, from decorative pieces to functional components.

• Foundry-ready guidance on melting, mixing, and casting aluminum and other alloys
• Descriptions of alloy families, including magnalium, nickel alloys, and zinc-aluminum blends
• Practical notes on fluxes, gating, and maintaining sound castings
• Historical context showing how alloying ideas evolved into modern practice

Ideal for readers who work with metals, students of metallurgy, and hobbyists seeking a solid, hands-on reference for alloying and casting.
