IJMC Grows in Influence, Posts Impact Factor Gains
The International Journal of Metalcasting, the American Foundry Society’s technical and research journal, is more influential than ever, according to a widely used measure of academic journals.
Ongoing AFS-sponsored research seeks to address costly inclusion defects that plague steel casting production by exploring how various gating designs affect filling conditions and casting quality.
Using AFS member dues to provide funding for breakthrough technologies
and new processes helps the metalcasting industry survive and thrive into the future.
