Diecasting World:
ICME's varied membership, reflecting the diverse aspects of the industry, means that ICME has now taken the decision to publish news, features and technical papers from the diecasting sector within its main publication, Foundry Trade Journal.

Modern diecasting technology is continually developing as demand grows for closer tolerances and high quality surface finish combined with thinner wall castings and the creation of more complex shapes. This will continue to be reflected within FTJ.

For back issues of the Diecasting World contact ICME.
