Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of casting processes and materials, including the solidification behavior of various alloys such as stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and copper-based alloys. It investigates methods to optimize casting quality, control microstructure, and enhance mechanical properties through process parameter control, alloy composition modification, and advanced manufacturing techniques like additive manufacturing and 3D printing. The scope also encompasses the analysis of casting defects and the development of simulation models to understand and predict material behavior during casting.
