This two-day Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course provides a comprehensive introduction to the metallurgy of aluminium and its practical applications in foundry operations. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of aluminium’s physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, alloy systems, and industrial processing methods. The course combines classroom-based theoretical instruction with hands-on foundry practice, ensuring that learners develop both conceptual knowledge and practical skills relevant to modern casting operations.
Through interactive lectures, case studies, and supervised laboratory exercises, attendees will explore the full aluminium casting cycle—from raw material preparation and melting, through mould design and solidification, to the identification and analysis of casting defects. The practical component, conducted in a state-of-the-art foundry training environment, allows participants to apply metallurgical principles directly to casting processes.
Target Audience:
- Foundry engineers and technicians
- Metallurgists and materials engineers
- Manufacturing and production specialists
- Apprentices, graduates, and early-career engineers seeking foundational knowledge in aluminium casting
- Professionals from related industries (automotive, aerospace, energy, construction) interested in aluminium processing
