SUMMARY:"Quantifying Casting Quality Through Filling Conditions"
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nAFS Twin Cities Chapter welcomes Randy Oehrlein\, VP of
  Engineering at Carley Foundry Inc\, to the monthly meeting on Tuesday Jan
 uary 9th\, 2019 at the Green Mill in Plymouth\, Minnesota with the Social 
 beginning at 3:00pm. Randy's presentation on "Quantifying Casting Quality 
 Through Filling Conditions" will begin at 4:15pm.\n\nAbout the Speaker...
  Randy Oehrlein has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the U of M and an
  AA from the Saint Paul Technical College in Design Technology. He current
 ly serves on the AFS 2E Permanent Mold Committee\, AFS 2D Structural Casti
 ngs Committee\, AFS Casting Congress technical papers review\, and in addi
 tion reviews technical papers for the International Journal of Metal Casti
 ng. He has participated in AFS sponsored research as both an investigator 
 and steering committee member along with serving on the AFS Research Board
  for 5 years. Randy has given presentations for the AFS Casting Congress o
 r specialty conferences for molten metal transfer\, semi permanent mold te
 chnology\, thermal management of permanent molds\, and energy reduction in
  a jobbing foundry. Randy also serves as an instructor for the AFS permane
 nt mold courses and contributed to the AFS aluminum casting in-house train
 ing material and online courses. Randy contributed chapters to\, and facil
 itated the completion of the AFS Handbook of Permanent Mold Casting Techno
 logy as well as a contributor to AFS Aluminum Casting Technology Handbook 
 and Casting Defect Handbook. He is the recipient of the 2007 AFS Glen Stah
 l Service Award recipient\, the 2009 William Frishmuth Aluminum Foundryman
  of the Year award\, and the 2014 AFS Scientific Merit Award.\n\nAbout the
  Topic... Randy will present findings on a recent AFS research project whe
 re multiple foundries produced the same castings to the same process\, alt
 hough using three distinctly different gating systems. The castings were a
 lso poured in four different alloys. The castings were then inspected for 
 quality with X-ray\, Liquid Penetrant Testing\, pressure tightness\, compu
 ted tomography scanning\, fracture analysis along with mechanical property
  testing. The results were surprising in many cases and may change how we 
 think about the relation of gating systems and part quality.\nSchedule...\
