Book excerpt: The report delineates the factors influencing the characteristics, design, and properties of high-performance castings and the outstanding problems that must be resolved to enhance the reliability and use of these castings. It suggests a number of programs and methods to improve their integrity and acceptance. A satisfactory end-product requires close cooperation between the product designer and the foundryman. To use high-performance castings at their full potential, reliable design data must be available to the designer, and designers must become as knowledgeable about casting design procedures as they are about the design of forgings and other products. An integrated plan is proposed to make these castings competitive with forgings and specific recommendations are proposed for individual metallic alloys systems. (Author).
