The 2004 Howard F. Taylor Award will be presented to "Developments in Lost Foam Casting of Magnesium magnesium (măgnē`zēəm, –zhəm), metallic chemical element; symbol Mg; at. no. 12; at. wt. 24.305; m.p. about 648.8°C;; b.p. about 1,090°C;; sp. gr. 1.738 at 20°C;; valence +2.

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 AFS Honorary Lectures and Papers Committee has selected the paper, "Measuring and Reducing Appraisal Costs in the Foundry" (#03-065), authored by Theodore Schorn, Enkei America, Columbus, Ind., as winner of the 2004 Ray H. Witt Award. 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. The awards will be presented at the 108th Metalcasting Congress, June 12-14, 2004 in Rosemont, Ill. |
