Metalcasters gather in Orlando in October for AFS Structural Aluminum and Iron Melting Conferences.More than 230 metalcasters gathered for two 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 conferences--the International Iron Melting Conference and the International Conference on Structural Aluminum--which were held concurrently November 2-4 in Orlando, Fla. The International Conference on Structural Aluminum featured 32 technical presentations focused on designing structural aluminum components as well as a variety of accomplishments in aluminum casting production, including practical applications for computer modeling and the quenching quenching Rapid cooling, as by immersion in oil or water, of a metal object from the high temperature at which it is shaped. Quenching is usually done to maintain mechanical properties that would be lost with slow cooling. and control of residual stresses and distortion in aluminum. During the aluminum conference, Steve Sikorski, Magma Foundry Technologies, Inc., gave a presentation on the integration of casting simulation into the design chain, According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Sikorski, state-of-the art casting process simulation tools allow for the prediction of casting process, taking into account the processing conditions and any residual stresses that occur. The International Iron Melting Conference featured 37 technical presentations split into three separate sections--cupola, coreless induction and channel induction. The variety of topics presented included an overview of automated refractory refractory Material that is not deformed or damaged by high temperatures, used to make crucibles, incinerators, insulation, and furnaces, particularly metallurgical furnaces. installation systems and tips for how an induction melt shop can survive a power crisis. During the iron conference, Wayne Anderson Wayne Anderson (born July 16, 1968 in Lakeland, Florida) is a racecar driver. He ran the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series tour part-time in 2005, and his plans for 2006 are unknown. , CWC CWC Chemical Weapons Convention CWC Cricket World Cup CWC Central Wyoming College CWC Ceylon Workers' Congress (trade union; Sri Lanka) CWC Ceylon Workers Congress (Sri Lanka) Foundry, outlined an experiment to determine if a smaller coke size could be used in cupolas without negatively affecting temperature, alloy recovery and melt rate. The experiment found that a smaller coke size could be used, and that a cost savings could be realized from the transition. |
