Educated at Cambridge, Sheffield and Birmingham the author first trained as a physicist, then became a metallurgical engineer, but finally specializing in liquid metals and casting. He developed the Cosworth Casting Process, then a novel process making Al alloy cylinder heads and blocks for the Formula One racing engines, using counter-gravity filling of molds by an electromagnetic pump, subsequently adopted by GM and Ford. The process immediately solved the universal fatigue problems of that era, reducing them to zero. He was co-developer of the new and exciting Ablation Casting Process in the USA, and for 15 years was the first Professor of Casting Technology in the University of Birmingham, UK. His “Complete Casting Handbook” published in 2011 is not light bed-time reading, but is a bargain for the determined and fearless reader with an open mind. The “Mini Casting Handbook”, distilled from the “Complete” book, and updated, contains the minimum knowledge required to make sound cast products every time. The potential upgrade to the properties of our metals, simultaneously raising toughness, creep, fatigue, corrosion resistance etc. is explained in his “The Origin of Fracture– The Mechanisms of Metallurgical Failure” published 2020. He regrets this revolution in metallurgy will cause much trouble, but should eventually bring a more accurate understanding of metallurgy and benefit to the engineering world. He continues to work around the world, lecturing and training, solving production problems, helping to raise quality and productivity, and reduce both energy and costs. He is particularly concerned to encourage the use of melting and casting processes which deliver metals with fewer defects. This is an additional low cost technique to improve properties, supplementing conventional metallurgical techniques such as alloying, working and heat treatment. He targets the production of metals which cannot fail by cracking; metals we can trust.
