The last edition of the Foseco Foundryman.s Handbook was published in 1994 and like all the earlier
editions, it aimed to provide a practical reference book for all those involved in making castings
in any of the commonly used alloys by any of the usual moulding methods.

In order to keep the Handbook to a reasonable size, it was not possible to deal with all the common
casting alloys in detail. Since 1994 the technology of casting has continued to develop and has become
more specialised so that it has been decided to publish the new edition of the Handbook in two volumes:

Ferrous - dealing with grey, ductile and special purpose cast irons together with carbon, low alloy
and high alloy steels

Non-ferrous - dealing with aluminium, copper and magnesium casting alloys
