3:15 p.m.-4:45 p.m.
Metallurgical Properties Inside a Sand Molded Aluminum 206 Casting (16-002) Tis presentation will share the results of a metallurgical study of aluminum alloy 206 in the T4 and T7 condition.
Effect of Bismuth and Calcium Additions on the Performance of B319 Al Cast Alloy (16-096) Te effect of bismuth and calcium additions on the microstruc- tural characteristics and the tensile properties of the modified and grain-refined B319-alloys as well as that of solution and aging treatments on the same will be shared. Based on the results of re- cent research, bismuth was found to be an efficient solid-solution strengthening element for these alloys.
Te Background, Use and Application of the Cast Iron Strain Life Fatigue Database (16-090) Panelists will present on the data collection and testing process used to create the Strain LIfe Fatigue database. Tey also will cover how to use this information in design applications along with OEM practical examples.
3D Scanning: Developing Industry Accepted Methodology (16-149) Tis panel will give an update on the development of a uniform method of implementing 3D scanning technology throughout the industry. By understanding the issues in repeatability and reporting, the technology can be an even more valuable tool for dimensional reporting and comparison of tooling, castings and cores.
MONDAY, APRIL 18 8 a.m.-9 a.m.
Autonomous Optimization of Die Casting Processes (16-040)
Tis session will show examples of high pressure die castings where autonomous optimization options were utilized to resolve casting defect issues.
9:15 a.m.-10:15 a.m.
Expanding the Envelope of Precision Casting (16-079) Tis session will give an introduction of an advanced invest- ment casting process and technology. Te research can be used to manufacture large-scale ceramic shell investment castings in both ferrous and nonferrous alloys.
1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
LIFT (Lightweight Innovation for Tomorrow) Tin Wall Ferrous Casting Project (16-165) Tis project is investigating very thin-walled ferrous castings (<2mm wall), focusing on the manufacturing process develop- ment required to bring thin wall, vertically-molded green sand ductile iron castings to high volume production.
Application of Resonance Inspection to Cast Iron—Litera- ture Review (16-053) Existing literature containing the application of resonance inspection in cast iron will be reviewed and critical issues for future research in the area of resonance inspection and defect identification will be discussed.
Casting of the Year—Optimized Casting Design (16-153) Every year, AFS recognizes excellence in casting design and produc- tion with the Casting of the Year award. Tese metalcasters have produced innovative casting designs that showcase the capabilities of the industry.
Non-Standard Testing to Qualify 3D Printed Sands (16-066) Te purpose of this study is to characterize post cured 3D printed silica sand specimens with non-standard tests designed to measure the physical, mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties as required for castability.
Strengthening Mechanism in 1030 Steel by Niobium Oxides (16-021) Cast Steel Property Data for Casting Alloy Data Search Tool (CADS) 16-197) Tis work was done to confirm earlier results and determine if the strengthening mechanism was from grain refinement or another mechanism.
3:15 p.m.-4:45 p.m.
Casting Inspection Measurement and Machining (16-150) Te panel will discuss visual casting inspection, how good it is and the development of inspection standards and adaptive ma- chining fixtures. A scanned casting versus a coordinate measur- ing machine dimensional layout of a casting will be compared for PPAP.
Factors and Trends in Casting Sourcing (16-154) Purchasing professionals from medium-sized U.S. manufac- turers will describe their experiences and concerns in sourcing castings. Topics will relate to reduced domestic options, tradeoffs in off-shoring, and how domestic suppliers can promote their “non-price reasons to buy.”
Castability Improvements of Stainless Steels Within the Material Specifications (16-013) In the present work, two grades of cast stainless steels CF8C and HF were taken as an example to review the discrepan- cies among the material specif ications and to investigate the influences of the lower and upper specif ication limits within the specif ications.
Autonomous Optimization of Gating and Risering Design for Steel Castings (16-039) Tis session will detail a novel simulation software, autonomous optimization which greatly reduces the amount of time required to set up and analyze individual simulations.
