VVGT Study Evening: Recognising Casting Defects

Recognize and solve casting defects: from cause and influencing factors to checks. Learn through practical case ductile iron. Session led by Staf Henderieckx.

Recognition to check: refine your approach to casting errors with expert advice.

Recognizing and resolving casting defects requires more than experience and quick reactions: it requires a systematic approach. During this study evening, you will discover how to identify defects through a clear procedure, expose their causes and influencing factors and formulate structural solutions, including the necessary checks. In a practical case on ductile iron, you and the expert will go through the process step by step, from problem to solution. This will help you refine your approach and increase your insight into sustainable quality improvement.
 

For whom?

This study evening is intended for:

  • Foundry workers who face production errors on a daily basis
  • Quality and process engineers analysing and improving castings
  • Production managers who want to implement structural solutions
  • Anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of casting defects and troubleshooting
     

Key takeaways

  • You will learn to systematically recognize and analyze casting defects
  • You will discover how to correctly identify causes and influencing factors
  • You will gain insight into formulating solutions with attention to possible side effects
  • You practice through a practical case on ductile cast iron
  • You include concrete methods to achieve sustainable quality improvement
