Steel Castings Handbook Supplements

• Supplement 1 - Design Rules and Data (1985) A review of design rules applicable to steel castings.
• Supplement 2 - Summary of Standard Specifications for Steel Castings (2017) Data sheet charts listing standard specifications for more than 100 designated classes of steel castings
• Supplement 3 - Dimensional Tolerances (2003) Illustrations and tables of data providing guides to the computation of tolerances for steel casting dimensions
• Supplement 3 - Dimensional Tolerances - Old version Older version of Supplement 3, including SFSA T tolerance values
• Supplement 4 - Drafting Practices for Castings (1985) Illustrations to assist the draftsman in communicating all information necessary for the patternmaker and the foundrymen in the successful production of castings
• Supplement 5 - General Properties of Steel Castings (1985) Properties that can be expected from Carbon & Low Alloy steel castings
• Supplement 6 - Production Welding and Fabrication Welding of Carbon and Low Alloy Steel Castings (2023) Authoritative manual on proven welding procedures, properties of welds deposited according to American Welding Society classifications, etc.
• Supplement 6 - Repair Welding and Fabrication Welding of Carbon and Low Alloy Steel Castings (1985) Includes filler metal tables.
• Supplement 7 - Welding of High Alloy Castings (2004) Welding information and procedures for heat resistant and corrosion resistant cast steel alloys
• Supplement 8 - High Alloy Data Sheets - Corrosion Series (2004) Descriptions, heat treatment information, application information, design and service considerations, fabrication information and designations for corrosion resistant cast steel alloys
• Supplement 9 - High Alloy Data Sheets - Heat Series (2004) Descriptions, heat treatment information, application information, design and service considerations, fabrication information and designations for heat resistant cast steel alloys
• Supplement 10 - A Glossary of Foundry Terms (1985)
• Supplement 11 - Hardenability and Heat Treatment (1985) Step-by-step the process for determining the hardenability of a steel casting. The method of making needed calculations has been simplified by using tables rather than curves, and examples are given to show how these tables should be used. Computation of the ideal critical diameter, the end quench curve, and hardness traverse, and the percent of martensite present in various depths in a section of a steel casting requires only addition and interpolation from tables
