Iron machinability testing receives funding.The 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 Cast Iron Div. Casting Quality Control Committee (5-J) has received a research grant to continue development of a machinability test that evaluates machining process changes for both metalcasters and their customers. While this effort focuses on cast iron, machinability tests for all cast metals ultimately could be developed. A group of metalcasters (Wells Manufacturing Co., Woodstock, Ill., Sparta Manufacturing, Sparta, Wis adv. 1. Certainly; really; indeed. v. t. 1.

AFS has contracted Finn Metalworking and Cutting Solutions to manage the current effort to determine the reproducibility and repeatability of the promising machinability test and draft an AFS Standard Quality Control Test for Machinability of Cast Iron. |
