This dictionary is indispensable for all professionals working in the fields of metallurgical, engineering, chemical, petroleum, mining, petrochemical, and general alloys industries, as well as foundry work in particular. It is also essential for researchers in research centers and universities.
The dictionary consists of approximately 1,400 pages, providing Arabic equivalents for all technical terms adopted by the International Foundry Commission (CIATF). In addition to defining and explaining each term, illustrative drawings are included to facilitate understanding. Definitions are provided in French and English alongside the Arabic definitions to assist Arabic-speaking experts in dealing with specialized materials published in these languages. American English equivalents are also added where they differ from British English usage. Furthermore, references to French, British, and American standards are included where necessary.
