Manage the Damage: A Holistic Approach to Metal Quality

High integrity castings are growing in importance as the use of castings will find its way to more and more challenging applications. The new requirements on strengths, ductility and porosity management are dramatically increasing. To control the cost of high integrity casting production, an overall quality engineering system that ensures the incoming metal quality, in-process liquid metal quality and finally outgoing casting quality is needed.

This webinar will address how a dashboard that shows the overall quality performance of aluminum foundries can be developed.  How to use hydrogen strategically to determine the true quality of aluminum will be discussed.  Special emphasis will be given to “manage the damage” approach for liquid aluminum.
