Casting Design & Purchasing Education Tracks
As part of CastExpo, various education tracks have been
planned for attendees, organized by professional interest and job responsibility. Below are the sessions labeled “Casting Design & Purchasing.” To see the full program across all subjects, go to
www.castexpo.com.
SATURDAY, APRIL 16 1:30 p.m.-3 p.m.
Casting Defects in Copper Based Alloys (16-109) Bring your defect or a picture of it and our selected panelist will attempt to solve it along with participation from the audience.
Accelerated Adoption of Additive Manufacturing Technology in the American Foundry Industry (16-061 Te panel will share the progress of America Makes, a collabora- tive teaching, learning, and additive manufacturing center, focused on introducing additive manufacturing throughout the foundry industry, with a primary objective of achieving enhanced economic development.
3:15 p.m.-4:45 p.m.
Defect Solution Forum (16-102) Te participants in this forum will present defects they have com- batted and solutions they have found to anticipate and minimize or eliminate the future formations of the defect.
10 Questions Buyers Should Be Asking Casting Suppliers to Find the Right One for Tem (16-152) Casting buyers can make better deals by asking the right ques- tions of their current and potential casting suppliers. Tis panel will help buyers get the answers they need for more optimal sourcing of castings.
SUNDAY, APRIL 17 8 a.m.-9 a.m.
Significantly Reducing Common Casting Issues in Permeable Molds by Casting Under Pressure (16-115) In porous media molds, solidifying under gas pressure is a little used yet powerful way to address quality issues in castings. When the technique is coupled with conductive inert gasses, its effective- ness is increased.
9:15 a.m.-10:15 a.m.
Reduction of Oxide Inclusions in Aluminum Cylinder Heads Trough Autonomous Design of Experiments (16-093)
42 | METAL CASTING DESIGN & PURCHASING | Mar/Apr 2016
In the case of aluminum cylinder heads, advanced software tech- nology allowed for an autonomous design of experiments (autono- mous DOE) to be carried out, which provided the basis for the evaluation and subsequent optimization of process parameters and geometry.
Methods for the Improvement of Ductility in an E357 Aluminum Alloy (16-145) Tis presentation will explore the use of manganese and cobalt to modify the morphology of the iron-rich phases in aluminum- silicon alloys (357 type) as well as the relationship of silicon modification with strontium and silicon level to intermetallic formation and ductility.
ADI—Beyond the Standard (16-098) Explore the critical issues related to substandard and properly made austempered ductile iron (ADI).
High Strength Ductile Iron Produced by Engineered Cooling: Application for Different Casting Processes (16-048) Te development of high strength ductile iron castings in as-cast con- ditions by applying an engineered cooling will be investigated in this session. Te possible strengthening level as well as process limitations will be discussed.
Additive Manufacturing (16-151) Practical use of additive manufacturing currently used in the metalcasting facility and what’s coming in the future will be discussed.
Predicting Casting Dimensions With Computer Process Modeling (16-076) Research has detailed a methodology using computer process modeling to accurately determine casting dimensions from room temperature pattern dimensions. As the ability of creating castings true to designs improves, reductions in machine stock can be made to decrease cost, improve reliability and speed production.
1:30 p.m.-3 p.m.
Workshop on Aluminum and Aluminum Casting Alloys (16-126) Tis workshop is intended for casting buyers and design engineers who wish to learn more about the production and casting of aluminum and the properties of aluminum castings.
Honorary Lecture: Te Stuff Matters (16-114) Real-world case studies from familiar fields of investigation will be used to foster a “life cycle” energy perspective and, perhaps, positively affect the thinking of engineers and designers in their work.
