Lean Production using Casting Simulation to Promote FTR Approach
Abstract: When the talk is about the green production, then intention is to develop a product with first-time-right approach. Foundry desperately needs such production system, as it provides wide range of products. Even the small errors in the inputs (concept, design, raw material, process, etc.) can lead to wasted outputs [1], and invite unwanted cost of reworking. Thus, it is of extreme importance to develop the castings with FTR (first time …

Adoption of Heat Recovery Technology in Sintering Process to Reduce Carbon Imprint
Abstract: India is the second largest steel producer in the world after China. The 2017 National Steel Policy of India set out the ambitious plan of 250 MT steel production and per capita consumption to around 160 kg by 2030. The dominant iron-making route is blast furnace (BF), which is an energy-intensive process based on fossil fuel consumption. The steel industry contributes around 7% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. India …
