A Buyer’s & Designer’s Intro to Met- alcasting Processes & Alloys (11-171) Alfred Spada, Leo Baran, American Foundry Society, Schaumburg, Ill. To understand how to design and
source engineered metal castings, you must understand the relationship between the various metalcasting processes and alloys and how that marriage can unleash the geomet- ric power metalcasting offers. This presentation reviews those processes and alloys and illustrates some successful designs achieved through the marriage.

Identifying, Understanding & Reduc-
ing Defects in Metal Castings (11-172) Kevin Fleischmann, American Foundry Society, Schaumburg, Ill. If you encounter a defect in your cast component at the machine shop or on your assembly line, it is critical for you and your operation to identify the type of defect and the steps necessary to eliminate it immediately to ensure continued operation of your assembly line. But not all defects in metal castings are made the same. This presentation explores the various metal casting de- fects and provides detailed explanations on their causes and solutions, because “porosity” is not always porosity.
