She has held positions in casting and tool ing design\, casting process simulation\, and metal casting workforce deve lopment at John Deere\, Magma Foundry Technologies\, Inc. and American Fou ndry Society Institute.\n\nShe earned a Master’s in Materials Science an d Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology studying metallurg y\, solidification behaviors of metals\, and crystallography and performed research on high temperature mechanical tensile and creep properties of a martensitic stainless steel alloy. Shelly also holds a Bachelor of Scienc e in Manufacturing Technology from University of Northern Iowa’s (UNI) F oundry Educational Foundation accredited metal casting program.\n\nShelly chairs the UNI Metal Casting Program and Manufacturing Engineering Technol ogy Academic Advisory Boards and is a member of the Department of Technolo gy Advisory Board. She is also an active member of the Society of Women En gineers and volunteers at STEM outreach events.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n& nbsp\;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n \n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\nAFS Twin Cities Chap ter\npresents a 1/2-day afternoon seminar\n"Defect Analysis: Know the Defe ct You are Trying to Eliminate"\n\n\n\n\nProduction of casting involves va rious processes like pattern making\, molding\, core making\, melting\, an d cleaning. It is very difficult to produce defect free castings. A defect may be the result of a single cause or a combination of causes. The casti ngs may have one or more defects. These can be minimized by taking correct remedial actions in the tools or processes. The first and most important step in the defect analysis is to identify the casting defect correctly. T hen the identification of the sources of the defect is to be made. The inv olvement of the various variables in the process make it difficult to iden tify the exact source of the defect. Systematic analysis is required to co ntrol/reduce the defects by taking the necessary corrective remedial actio ns. Incorrect initial analysis of the defect will result in wasted time\, effort\, and more than likely\, lots of money.\n\nWho should attend this s eminar? Everyone involved with making castings.\nSeminar Schedule\n11:45am      Check-in\n12:00pm    Robb Schmidt\, Grede St. Cloud\n12:45pm     Jay Zins\, Dotson Iron Castings\n1:30pm       Break\n2:00pm      Shelly Dutler\, IMERYS\n2:45pm      Randy Oehrlein\, Carley Foundr y\n3:30pm      Shake Out Session (Q&\;A)\n4:00pm      Conclus ion\nRegister below by March 6th at 12:00pm\n\nProfessional Development Ho urs Certificates Available (3 hours)\n\nRegister for More (AFS Dinner Meet ing):\n\n5:00pm      Social Hour\n\n6:00pm      Dinner\n\n7:00pm       Presentation by Shelly Dutler\, IMERYS - "Building Teams to Eli minate Casting Defects"\n\nA casting defect may have more than one root ca use involving variables spanning multiple departments. Sharing process inf ormation and knowledge is essential to fully resolving the defect. As a gr oup\, we will discuss the benefits and methods for working in teams and bu ilding strategic technical partnerships.\n\n\n\nClick here to view newslet ter.
