 issues and the end-user.

In a panel presentation titled, "Specifications: Case Histories Associated with Under and Over Specifying Castings," G. Hartay, Falk Corp., A. Davidson, Casting Metallurgy metallurgy (mĕt`əlûr'jē), science and technology of metals and their alloys. Modern metallurgical research is concerned with the preparation of radioactive metals, with obtaining metals economically from low-grade ores, with  & Process Technology, L.L.C., and M. Haave discussed the difficulties casting suppliers can have with end-user casting specifications and provided advice on how to work through these issues.

Hartay described several casting case histories of his foundry's experiences with customers, focusing on how the same casting for the same application can receive multiple different specifications for material property and inspection requirements. "And meeting these specifications as U.S. suppliers is an absolute while many of the overseas foundries can say they hit these marks even though they don't," said Hartay.

The path to try to follow in these situations, said Davidson, is to "make sure you clarify OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  expectations of the part beyond specifications and work to build a specification relationship. What should each of you do, the supplier and customer, to ensure good castings."

Haave provided a perspective outside the metalcasting industry. He said that success requires continued communication. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

In their presentation "Simulation Heat Treatment of Castings and Preduction of Mechanical Properties" (03-105), Davidson and H. Roshan, Intellectual Capital Exchange, L.L.C., detailed how casting process modeling software has the ability to predict the final mechanical properties of heat treated steel castings Steel casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured into a mold, allowed to solidify within the mold, and then the mold is broken and the solid piece is taken out. .
