CD-103 Color Poster
 
  Microstructures Of Cast Iron
    Technical expert: Prof. S.K. Paknikar
  This computer based programme is a self-learning tool and contains first hand
technical information on various principles of physical metallurgy which
influence microstructures of various cast irons and their mechanical properties. 
  The first of its kind internationally this CD will update you on metallographic
techniques to interpret microstructures in routine quality control which
is the need of the industry.
  This CD will be useful for practicing foundrymen dealing with melt control and
metallography of cast irons.
  This CD will be a good educational tool for undergraduates of metallurgical
engineering and foundry technology.
