PRINCIPLES OF CASTING TECHNOLOGY

MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING PROF. PRADEEP K. JHA
Dept. of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
IIT Roorkee

TYPE OF COURSE : Rerun | Core | UG/PG COURSE DURATION : 8 weeks (28 Jan’19 - 22 Mar’19)
INTENDED AUDIENCE : It is a core course for UG and PG. EXAM DATE : 31 Mar 2019
INDUSTRIES APPLICABLE TO : Casting Industries like BHEL, Tata Steel, Jindal Steel, Foundry units of medium and
large sizes
COURSE OUTLINE :
The course focuses on understanding the basics of science and technology of casting processes. Metal casting
industries have evolved during the past hundred years because of advancements in technologies. The properties of
the cast metals significantly depends upon the type of molding, melting, solidification and post treatment practices.
This needs to be understood by the young students as well as practicing shop floor engineers so that products with
superior qualities can be cast. The basic purpose of this course is to provide a sound understanding of concepts and
principles of casting technology so as to enable them to be conversant with advances in these methods in the long
run towards increasing the productivity of casting industries.
