Industry suppliers and North American metalcasters are securing their exhibit space at Metalcasting Congress 2023, the continent’s premier gathering for the full foundry supply chain.

The Environmental, Health and Safety Division recognized individuals and companies for their achievements during an awards presentation at the 34th EHS Conference.

Up-and-coming leaders in the metalcasting industry have a new opportunity to support their educations thanks to a generous donation from AFS Corporate Member SintoKogio Ltd.

The latest discoveries in metalcasting research are highlighted in AFS Transactions, Vol. 130, released this month by the American Foundry Society.

Statistical process control (SPC) is one of the seven basic quality tools, but many manufacturing professionals don’t understand it – or are intimidated by it – because of its heavy reliance on high-level mathematics. A new course from the AFS Institute simplifies this complex method, giving quality control personnel, engineers, and other metalcasters the tools they need to put SPC to work for them, improving their output.

Seventy-nine percent of metalcasters have a positive business outlook for the next 12 months, down from a full 90 percent in June, according to a new survey from AFS.

As American Foundry Society members open their doors to their communities for Manufacturing Day 2022, AFS is providing resources for making these events a success.

Nineteen new Corporate Members have joined AFS in recent months, bringing the Society to its highest corporate membership count in more than 15 years.

AFS today announced that the 2022 Foundry Leadership Summit will feature a panel on “Opportunities and Challenges Facing Metalcasters in 2023 and Beyond.”
