Metalcasting Alloys: An Introduction Member: $100 / Non-member: $150 / Just in Time Education Course


This short-format course is Unit 3 of our full-length Introduction to Metalcasting on-line course. Available as a stand-alone for those who don’t want to complete the full course, this mini course will introduce you to the various alloys used for metalcasting, including applications. If you decide you like this course and wish to complete the remaining units, we will apply the fee from this course to the registration fee for the full-length course.


Defects Related to Gating & Riser Design Member: $50 / Non-member: $100 / Just in Time Education Course


Learn about types of green sand casting defects that result from design issues in the gating system. Learn the functions of the gating system, basic design principles, and detailed information about various defects that result from poor gating design, and how to correct them. Defects discussed include those that result from poor metal fl uidity and improper layout, such as shrinkage and inclusions. (54 minutes)


Hazard Communication Training Member: $50 / Non-member: $100 / Just in Time Education Course


Do your employees know what chemicals they are exposed to on a daily basis? Do they know what to do in an emergency situation? Do they know how to read a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to discover potential risks and threats regarding the use of specifi c substances? All workplaces where employees are exposed to hazardous chemicals must have a written plan that describes how the standard will be implemented in that facility. This program educates employees on what information is contained within the written program and what it means. Also covered is the 16 part MSDS developed by the American Foundry Society for the metalcasting industry, common contaminants and their properties, routes of entry of contaminants, and general safety rules related to hazard communication. (30 minutes)
