Course detail
FSI-ESL-KAcad. year: 2023/2024
Basic overview about casting technologies, i.e. mould and core making, possibilities of metal pouring and finishing operations. The course gives the detail knowledge related to all individual phases of casting manufacture takin into account the most modern and dynamic trends in this area. This will give to the students a possibility of comparison this technology with the other ones (forming, welding, machining,etc)
