Metal casting is one of the oldest manufacturing process, which basically involves pouring molten metal into a mould cavity, where upon solidification it takes the shape of the cavity. Beauty of this process is, any complicated shape in any metal can be casted.

Metal casting is a complicated process with many process variables. There are numerous opportunities for things to go wrong in a casting operation, resulting in quality defects in the product. A casting defect is an undesired irregularity in a metal casting process. Some defects can be tolerated while others can be repaired, otherwise they must be eliminated. It is a great challenge to work on casting defects and eliminate them.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association is organizing a training programme on "Defect Analysis and Troubleshooting of Casting Defects".

This Program will be conducted by Mr. Ganapathi K N.

Mr. Ganapathi K N is an Advisor of IMTMA having 16 years of industrial and 16 years of academic/Training experience. He is a postgraduate in metal casting science and engineering from UVCE Bengaluru. Prior to working at IMTMA, Mr. Ganapathi has worked at various capacity in both Ferrous and nonferrous foundries. He has thorough understanding of all foundry operations and has experience of providing solutions to the foundry problems. He has also imparted specialized training on metal casting domain to more than 300 engineers across manufacturing companies in India. He has also taught metal casting topics to post graduate engineering students.
