Foundry Sands is a book written by Heinrich Ries and originally published in 1908. The book is a comprehensive guide to the properties and uses of foundry sands, which are essential materials in the casting process. Ries provides a detailed analysis of the various types of foundry sands, including their composition, physical and chemical properties, and suitability for different casting applications. The book also covers the methods used for testing and analyzing foundry sands, as well as the factors that affect their quality and performance. Ries draws on his extensive experience in the field of geology and metallurgy to provide a thorough and authoritative resource for foundry workers, engineers, and researchers. This book is an essential reference for anyone involved in the production of cast metal components, and it remains a valuable resource for the foundry industry more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
