The Aluminum Cast House Industry recognises the importance of technology management in reducing operating costs and making high-quality products safely; with minimal environmental impact. The 12th Aluminium Cast House Technology Conference and Exhibition provided a unique venue where researchers, producers and suppliers could present and discuss the latest ideas in the science and technology of casting aluminium-alloy semi-finished products. The proceedings, with 29 peer-reviewed papers, offer invaluable insights into the subject.Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
