Plant in Ohio, showcases Honda’s ability to take external technlogy and work collaboratively with Alotech to integrate ablation casting into existing manufacturing requirements (a real-world technology transfer). Te AFS/Metal Casting Design & Purchasing Maga- zine Casting Competition is held every year to give North American metalcasting facilities the chance to show the engineering and purchasing community what a cast metal part can accomplish. Honda and Alotech were recognized for their winning


casting during the President’s Brunch April 23 at the 119th AFS Metalcasting Congress in Columbus, Ohio. Seven other castings were honored as Best in Class or Honorable Mention winners.


Best in Class: • REL Inc., Calumet, Mich., and Eck Industries, Mani- towoc, Wis., for an aluminum conformable compressed natural gas tank. • Magna International, Troy, Mich., for its high pressure vacuum diecast multi material lightweight vehicle front kick down rail for the automotive industry.


• Grede-Columbiana, Columbiana, Ala., for a lost-foam- cast ductile iron stalk roll used in the separation and processing of corn stalk material during harvest.


Honorable Mention:


• Signicast Investment Castings, Hartford, Wis., for a steel cold chamber shot end plunger tip.


• Waupaca Foundry Plant 4, Marinette, Wis., for a green sand cast differential case for automotive, light truck driveline.


• Tooling & Equipment International, Livonia, Mich., for an aluminum accessories plate that integrates internal cooling, air fuel and accessories in power generators.


• O’Fallon Casting, O’Fallon, Mo., for an aluminum afo- cal optics housing for a defense application. Te American Foundry Society is a not-for-profit orga-


nization formed in 1896. With its headquarters in Scha- umburg, Ill., AFS provides members and consumers with information and services to promote and strengthen the metalcasting industry. 
