Diecasters - Italy bound

Issued at 2010-03-28



The next METEF-FOUNDEQ, the international exhibition dedicated to the technologies, machining, products and applications of technological metals and aluminium will take place from 14 to 17 April 2010 at the Garda Exhibition Centre in Montichiari, Brescia, Italy.

The organisers say this year’s exhibition represents an important opportunity to restart the market and emerge from the economic and financial crisis as the industry looks to recover.

This year’s event sees the launch of the Metef Innovation Award 2010, a new initiative that aims to enhance the innovative content offered by the exhibiting companies. The contents of the proposed innovation will be assessed on: originality and novelty, performance peculiarities and competitive advantages. Judging will focus on the aspects of energy saving, environmental sustainability and conservation of resources contained in the proposals.

A series of parallel events dedicated to the foundry and diecasting sectors will be held during METEF-FOUNDEQ 2010.

Classification of diecasting defects
During the show the Diecasting Quality Work Group of the AIM Diecasting Technical Centre will present research undertaken on the subject of ‘Diecasting defects’. The presentation will look at how to improve defects to move the industry forward by showing a process of:

• elaborating a systematic and operative classification of defects;
• identifying the most significant morphological characteristics;
• describing the main causes;
• highlighting the most effective corrective interventions.
