VVGT | study evening on casting defects

Avoiding casting defects is part of the daily work of a foundry. The causes of casting defects are often very complex and not immediately recognisable. The speaker of this VVGT study evening will be Dr. Wolfram Stets, who is an expert on the subject.

During his presentation, Dr. Wolfram Stets will discuss the main defects - and their possible causes - in cast iron castings, namely blowholes, slag defects, inclusions, degeneration of the graphite structure, etc. Dr. Stets can rely on decades of experience at the German Institute for Foundry Technology (IfG) and at Vesuvius (Foseco BV).

Current cases of casting errors can, of course, also be presented and discussed during the evening.

Please note that the working language of this study evening is English.
