Basic knowledge of conventional methods of casting manufacture
and foundry alloys and their properties.

Attendance in lectures is recommended.
Examination : written and oral exam.

Presence in lessons obligatory compensation to be agreed with the lecturer

The main goal of the course is to provide students with knowledge of broad
possibilities of casting manufacture using non-convential methods with respect
to the chosen mould and core technology,and pouring system.
Knowledge of non-conventional foundry technologies using permanent and
non-permanent patterns(i.e.investment casting and lost foam technologies).
