First of all, i would like to thank you for your interest in my professional profile and I invite you to browse all the tabs on this website. Whether the goal is to create a partnership together or share a possible job offer, I remain available for any additional information.
Citizen of the world, I am open to all proposals. France, Europe or Worldwide... my only two criteria for start a new challenge : a challenge is interesting and a possibility of development for me and my future colleagues.
The foundry world is small, do not hesitate to share the address of this CV with your colleagues or various contacts in the world of metallurgy.
Hoping to have the opportunity to work together one day.
Today the quality requirements imposed by customers on cast alloy parts are particularly strict; but do they always fully understand the possibilities and limits that the foundry offers? Do they know the founder's constraints in terms of feasibility of a molded part? You, designers and customers of the foundry, are faced with your own constraints: development deadlines, optimization of the layout of the parts, realization of your projects at the right price. This course is for you. For some it will allow you to learn, and for others, to improve your skills in foundry techniques in general and more particularly in the usage properties of alloys, various casting processes, recent design and layout methods. molded parts. This session aims to answer questions asked by the designer, such as: What molding process should I use to make my part? What alloy and what grade, taking into account the various stresses to which the part is subjected in service? How to optimize your foundry layout? What minimum achievable thickness can I impose without fear of additional cost for my part? What should a specification contain?
The main themes covered are:
General principles of design and layout of a foundry part: expression of the need, geometric definition of the functional part, of the foundry part and optimization of its layout, contribution of computer tools (CAD, CAD, CFAO), simulation mechanics and thermo-mechanics.
Presentation of the different molding and coring processes (Technological aspect), special, recent and/or innovative processes.
Help in choosing processes: advantages and disadvantages, relative costs, association: processes/alloys and ~processes/series.
Help with the choice of alloys
The molded part: drafts, machining allowances, precisions and tolerances, surface conditions. The fundamental rules for drawing the raw part. Numerical methods of design and simulation in foundry. Rapid prototyping techniques (representativeness of prototype parts).
Foundry tools (classification and design principles).
Assistance in drafting specifications (standardization and company specifications, etc.). Receipt checks (dimensional, MTAO, destructive and non-destructive).
Examples of production (comparative aspect). Case studies.
