The favorite book of Linda Streckfuss

Linda Streckfuss spent a week in 2015 as Scholar in Residence at the Iron Library, where she researched for her bachelor's thesis in industrial engineering. Her thesis deals with the implementation of machine learning methods in the iron foundry of GF Automotive in Singen. What fascinates Linda about her favorite book is the complexity of manufacturing good greensand suitable for casting.

I am especially fascinated by the mechanisms and modes of action of the green sand components and their interdependencies. The system's complexity is a challenge to conduct further investigations in order to constantly improve monitoring of the process and perfect our knowledge of how to control green sand production.
