Abstract

We present information on the manufacture of casts of cast irons, steels, and alloys of nonferrous metals in the world and in individual countries. Among casting alloys, cast irons are the most widespread. Special attention should be given to high-strength cast irons, and the fraction of casts of them increased from 6.8% in 1970 to 18.4% in 1995. The fraction of casts of alloys of nonferrous metals also increased from 5% in 1970 to 12% in 1995. At the same time, cast manufacture of steels has shown a trend toward reduction. We show that Ukraine lays far behind the world in the development of foundry.
