North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Die Casting die casting Forming metal objects by injecting molten metal under pressure into dies or molds. An early and important use of the technique was in the Linotype machine (1884), but the mass-production automobile assembly line gave die casting its real impetus. Association are joining together in 2004 to host the largest annual meeting of metalcasters in the U.S. With the wide range of opportunities for technology transfer, it promises to be the industry's premier show, an event you won't want to miss. More than 100 technical and management papers will be presented over the three and a half days of the meeting. Experts from around the world will address new technology, innovative production practices, ongoing research and successful management tools that will educate metalcasters on the cutting-edge in the industry. In conjunction with the congress presentations, there will be tabletop displays on Saturday and Sunday. More than 140 metalcasting industry suppliers will showcase their most innovative products and services offered today. The Metalcasting Congress will be held June 12-15, at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois Rosemont is a village in Cook County, Illinois, founded in 1956. The population was 4,224 at the 2000 census. Geography Rosemont is located at (41.990730, -87.873816)GR1. . Sessions will run Hoyt Memorial Lecture at 10:00 a.m. Exhibits will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 pm. on Saturday and Sunday. Don't miss this opportunity to attend one of the most important events for the metalcasting industry.
