TORZEWSKI Corporate Purchasing, Indianapolis Casting Corp. 2004 Howard F. Taylor & Ray H. Witt Awards The 2004 Howard F. Taylor Award will be presented to "Developments in Lost Foam Casting of Magnesium" (#03-112), authored by Michael Marlatt, wfv/Roeperwerk, Three Lakes, Wis.; David Weiss, Eck Industries, Manitowoc, Wis.; and John Hryn, Argonne National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory, research center, based in Argonne, Ill., 27 mi (43 km) SW of downtown Chicago, with other facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, 50 mi (80 km) W of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Founded in 1946 by the U.S. , Argonne, Ill. The technical significance of this research presented at the 2003 AFS Casting Congress in Milwaukee was the successful demonstration of magnesium castability using lost foam casting technology. This work proved that magnesium can be cast in lost foam, a process considered sensitive to strict process controls. The 2004 Ray H. Witt Award will be presented to "Measuring and Reducing Appraisal Costs in the Foundry" (#03-065), authored by Theodore Schorn, Enkei America, Columbus, Ind. Presented at the 2003 Casting Congress, this paper details the costs associated with quality appraisals. This paper will help metalcasting organizations better define and measure appraisal costs, leading to improved customer satisfaction and decreased casting costs. |
