AFS sponsors machine productivity study.The American Foundry Society (AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System ) is sponsoring a research project in conjunction with the Univ. of Missouri-Rolla and U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Noun 1. Defense Logistics Agency - a logistics combat support agency in the Department of Defense; provides worldwide support for military missions Defense Department, Department of Defense, DoD, United States Department of Defense, Defense - the federal department . The purpose of the study is to investigate and develop methods of improving machining allowances in metalcasting facilities. The survey also will quantify Quantify - A performance analysis tool from Pure Software. the relative importance of several microstructural features and casting process variables on machine productivity. The study includes questions about melting practice, mold/core practice, castings and casting machinability. A summary of the results and statistical analyses will be presented at the annual AFS Metalcasting Congress, and identities of specific metalcasting facilities will be masked A state of being disabled or cut off. in the reporting. To take this survey, contact Jared Teague, Univ. of Missouri-Rolla, at jatvdc@umr. edu, or Von Richards, Univ. of Missouri-Rolla, at vonlr@umr.edu. |
