Automotive Foundry Technology

Automotive Foundry Technology is designed to provide a practical understanding of foundry processes used in the automotive industry. The course introduces the fundamentals of metal casting and its importance in manufacturing automotive components. Participants learn about different casting methods used for engine blocks, cylinder heads, manifolds, housings, and other components. It covers commonly used ferrous and non-ferrous foundry materials and their properties. The course explains pattern making, mould preparation, core making, melting, pouring, and solidification processes. Participants gain knowledge of casting defects, their causes, prevention, and inspection methods. It also covers modern foundry technologies, automation, and process control techniques. Special attention is given to productivity, dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and cost-effective manufacturing. The course helps participants understand quality and safety practices followed in automotive foundries. Overall, it builds practical knowledge required to improve foundry operations and produce reliable automotive cast components.
