Machinability of Gray Cast Iron - Acknowledgements and References
Acknowledgements
We are deeply grateful for the company that interrupted their hectic production schedules to produce the castings used in this study. We also truly appreciate the two companies that provide the combined carbon and chemical analysis for this work. The contributions from these three companies are invaluable to this project. A special word of thanks also goes to the American Foundry Society and our Industrial Sponsor's for their financial support.
We are also indebted to the US Department of Energy for support provided under agreement DE-FC07-97ID13555. Our hope is that this information on the factors that affect machinability in gray iron will be of assistance to companies throughout the United States in advancing the technology needed to produce machinable thin wall iron castings.
