Course objectives:

METHODS AND EQUIPMENT FOR MOULDING PROCESS

Student responsibilities:

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Seminar work and presentation 60% Oral exam 40%

Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:

The interaction with students during class and during case study presentation understanding of the material and the acquisition of competencies and skills in accordance with the learning outcomes is verified.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

After successfully mastering the course students will be able to: - Select aggregate (molding sand) and binders sand molds and cores according to casting process - Explain machinery for sand molds and cores - Explain permanent mold casting methods and machinery - Explain permanent mold (die) production - Calculate a gating and risering system - Manufacture both soft and hard casting mold with core - Describe casting process simulation possibilities - Set the parameters for castings" filling and solidification simulation software
