The following list of terms is associated primarily with cast aluminum products, their production, and their properties. The list is not intended to be exhaustive, including every term likely to be used within the aluminum casting industry, but rather as a resource for readers of this book. Many of these terms come from the Aluminum Association publication Aluminum Standards and Data and casting industry publications of the American Foundry Society (AFS), the North American Die Casting Association (NADCA), and the Non-Ferrous Founders’ Society (NFFS). The reader is referred to those societies’ publications for more complete terminology for casting and casting processes.
