AFS
to Coordinate SAE 2002 Casting Papers/Presentations
DES
PLAINES, ILL. – The AFS Marketing
Div., working in conjunction with the AFS Technical Dept., has assumed
the responsibility for gathering, reviewing and scheduling metalcasting-related
papers for presentation at the 2002 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
World Congress & Expo. This effort is being initiated to continue a
focused representation of metalcasting at the event, as well as the
continued publication of casting-related papers into the permanent SAE
record. Focused sessions on metalcasting have existed for two years now
(previously coordinated by Edward Vinarcik of Bosch Airflow Systems).
50,000 engineers and industry decisionmakers attend this event.
Papers
and presentations for next year’s event (March 4-7, 2002 in Detroit,
Michigan) should be directly applicable to design engineers working in
the transportation industries. Appropriate technical subjects may
include:
-
unique/innovative
transportation applications of cast metal components;
-
design
validation techniques;
-
case
studies showing reduced cost or added value through casting
utilization;
-
variability
reduction and performance improvements;
-
environmental
considerations and recyclability of castings;
-
design/material
property data;
-
new
and/emerging technologies related to the design and prototype of
metal castings.
The
deadline for paper offers is June 1. The paper offer should include
a 200-300-word description that includes a tentative title and full
author/company information (including mailing address, telephone, fax
and email). Draft manuscripts are due August 31, with final papers
due to SAE by December 17. Papers and presentations will be reviewed
per SAE requirements and audience scope.
Send
abstracts to SAEcongress@afsinc.org
