What a Foundry Needs to Communicate With Its Commercial Pattern Shop in Order to Obtain Best Value for the Pattern Tooling (12-149)
Not too long ago, pattern shops worked closely with foundries and knew what was required. Today, the commercial pattern shop has to guess what is needed. Tis panel discussion will ad- dress all types of patterns: wood, metal, plastic, foam, composites materials, large and small, job shop to high volume production.
2:00 PM
Bringing Casting Business Back to North America (12-160)
Tis panel discussion will provide an opportu- nity to hear from leading casting buyers as they discuss the latest trends. Te panel will cover the issues of supply chain management, supplier development, supplier quality and metallurgy responsibilities. Panelists will provide their perspectives regarding trends, dynamics and key
factors for success within continent and across continent casting suppliers.

10:15 AM Iron Casting Defect Analysis and Correction (12-144)
Excellent quality and low scrap in green sand foundries have moved from a benchmark to a necessity. Good controls of all processes and proper analysis of mistakes are tools to help achieve this. Tis panel will present case studies by iron foundries detailing their scrap analysis and quality improvement experiences. Shrinkage, sand inclusions, explosive penetration and core buoyancy will be discussed.
2:00 PM
Optimization of Conversion to Castings from Fabrications and Weldments Using Case Studies (12-142)
As foundry engineers produce what product en- gineers design, revisions are expensive and time consuming. Tis anatomy of great castings, with
10 things engineers should know when design- ing castings, will provide engineers insight into foundry industry techniques and capabilities. Te result of collaboration between foundry and original equipment manufacturer in the design phase will ensure successful casting conversions in shortened timeframe.

Design & Manufacturing Engineering of Castings: Differences that Affect Purchasing (12-141)
Tis world-renowned casting design expert will provide an innovative, conceptual approach to the design of metal castings. Designers and buyers will learn the importance of alloy selec- tion and how it impacts the design boundar- ies of a casting. Te session also examines a systems approach to casting design that can be applied with new designs or conversions to castings. Tis presentation also will review the corrlation between casting processes and the design of the casting.
