The course will focus on:
• Explain the advantages and disadvantages of different casting process and how this might affect your decision to choose
• Understand the differences between pressurised and unpressurised running systems, and reasons for selecting them
• Describe the different elements of the running system and explain how they impact on the pouring of a mould
• Apply knowledge to calculate simple running systems based on case studies given
• Understand the solidification of casting alloys
• Explain the different types of feeders
• Understand how to calculate feeder sizes and types to maximise yield whilst maintaining casting integrity

Who should attend?

These sessions would be suitable for technicians, engineers and staff working in technical areas looking for an understanding of the principles of running and feeding castings.
