Course program

Below we present a wide range of topics, which is the basis for developing a dedicated training program.

Module 1 - Foundry metal alloys and methods of their smelting (3 days, 21 hours)	Day 1	Division of casting alloys - alloys of ferrous and non-ferrous metals Trends in the development and use of modern casting alloys (ADI cast iron, vermicular cast iron, nickel superalloys, aluminum alloys, skeleton castings, etc.)
Day 2	Types of foundry furnaces and melting processes carried out in them: electric arc furnace electric induction furnace cupola gas stoves other types of foundry furnaces
Day 3	Calculation of charge (tracking) for smelting - exercises OHS in the processes of melting, transport of liquid metal, its processing and pouring casting moulds

Target group: The training is addressed to people who want to acquire basic or deepen their knowledge in the field of casting alloys and their melting processes.

Moduł 2 - Modern casting production technologies (3 days, 21 hours)	Day 1	Trends in the development of the global foundry industry Automatic box casting lines Automatic flaskless casting lines
Day 2	Low- and high-pressure foundry Combination of casting technologies with other manufacturing techniques (squeeze casting, rheocasting, casting of hybrid metal-plastic castings, etc.)
Day 3	Production of precision castings using the melted model method Basics of robotization of foundry processes

Target group: The training is addressed to people who want to acquire basic or deepen their knowledge in the field of modern foundry technologies.
