Synopsis:

The course is aimed at increasing knowledge of basic studies of foundry technology. It focuses mainly on the following topics: melting of gray iron, metallurgical treatment and its influence on the structure and properties of gray iron; production of the ductile cast iron; inoculation and modification of cast irons; production of the vermicular, malleable iron and of other special cast iron types; production and metallurgical treatment of cast steel; production and metallurgical treatment of aluminum and magnesium alloys; melt quality assurance methods; casting defects.

Requirements:

No absence. Submition of term paper.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Opening lecture, history, production, supply and demands of castings.

2. Grey iron production - melting, metallurgical treatment.

3. Grey iron production - continuation.

4. Ductile cast iron production.

5. Inoculation and modification of cast irons.
