The 2023 Transactions of the American Foundry Society includes 41 technical papers encompassing a wide range of metalcasting technology. These papers cover the latest in metalcasting research and smart manufacturing, process and equipment developments, environmental health & safety, and foundry best-practice case studies. Papers are approved for inclusion in AFS Transactions after a rigorous peer-review process to ensure only original work of the highest quality is included. AFS Transactions has been published annually since 1896 and is considered the premier technical publication of the international metalcasting industry.
Volume 131 of the 2023 AFS Transactions includes scientific and academic research, as well as industry-based technical papers from suppliers, foundries and other sources specializing in metalcasting technology. These latest developments in state-of-the-art technology were prepared for the 127th Metalcasting Congress, April 25-27, 2023, on topics such as:
- • Additive Manufacturing;
- • Aluminum & Light Metals, Cast Iron, & Steel Alloys;
- • Engineering and Smart Manufacturing;
- • Environmental, Health & Safety;
- • Lost Foam;
- • Melting Methods & Materials; and
- • Molding Methods & Materials.
