What defect are you fighting
today? Is it caused by a chemistry change in the charge materials? Is it related to a deviation in the melting procedure? Has the sand system gone out of adjustment? Have the alloys been added properly and the molds poured correctly? A panel of operating metalcasters will present defects from their foundry. Tey will explain the examination that was required to de- termine the true source of the defect. Te final solution will be illustrated. If you have a question about a certain defect bring it to the panel presenta- tion and we will discuss it, if time is available at the end.
Silver Anniversary Lecture: Review of Cast Iron Metal Penetration De- fect Formation Mechanisms (17-126) Scott Giese, University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls, Iowa)
Golden Anniversary Lecture: Effect of Mold-Steel Interface Reactions on
Casting Surfaces (17-089) Rod Naro, ASI International Ltd. (Cleveland)
Tis Golden Anniversary paper
will update both the original research work published in 1967 as well as the updated 1992 Silver Anniversary paper on mold-steel interface reactions on steel casting surfaces. It will review both published and unpublished re- search over the past 50 years and focus on advances in mold and coremaking technologies and correlate how they influence casting surface quality.
7 p.m.
Annual Banquet AFS’s highest honor, the Gold
Medal, will be awarded, followed by entertainment. (Ticket required.)

8-9 a.m. Panel: Slag Analysis: Is It Worth the Effort for Your Foundry? (17-112)
Pete Satre, Allied Mineral Products Inc. (Columbus, Ohio); Matt LaFramboise, Auburn Analytical Labs Inc. (Midland, Michigan); Dan Weiskopf, Neenah Foundry Co. (Neenah, Wisconsin) Analysis personnel, refractory per-
sonnel and foundry users will discuss the pros and cons, as well as practical use, of slag analysis in a foundry.
Panel: Additive Manufacturing for Metalcasting (17-123) Brandon Lamoncha, Humtown Prod- ucts (Columbiana, Ohio); Travis Frush, Jerry Tiel, University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls, Iowa); Rich Lo- nardo, Youngstown Business Incubator (Youngstown, Ohio) New manufacturing methods
are being developed every year and opportunities for adoption are ever increasing. Te group will discuss the current state of technology, emerg- ing technologies, and opportunities for competitive advantages through industry adoption.
