| | Sponsored | | The Aerodyne Vacu-Valve is a low-cost, easy-to-maintain alternative to rotary valves. It uses the vacuum in the hopper and gravity to control the release of fine, free-flowing material such as sand and rock dust. Maintenance can normally be done within 5 minutes, and the valve does not require electricity to operate. It’s a great choice for foundries! |

|
| | The 2026 Business Outlook survey has begun. Your insights and experiences will tell us - and tell the world - what’s happening in the metalcasting industry. |
|
|
| | Small – even subatomic – developments will have major consequences. Some metallurgical advances that are well beyond the concept stage are likely to have industrial or commercial consequences in the months to come. |
|
|
| | Mistakes are expensive, but metallurgists and QC technicians aim to profit from them by investigating how casting defects develop. That has resulted in a terminology for classifying casting defects. How many defects can you identify? |
