Dr Pam Murrell FICME, Chief Executive of the Cast Metals Federation, will be giving the Keynote Speech at the 7th Postgraduate Research Symposium on Ferrous Metallurgy on 27th February at Armourers Hall, London.
PRESENTATION -
“Challenges and opportunities for the UK Castings Industry – can castings be part of the solution for the transition to net zero?”
The Cast Metals Federation is the Trade Association for the UK casting industry. The Federation represents and supports its members made up from UK foundries and suppliers to the industry.
Dr Murrell will look at the challenges and opportunities for the UK castings industry exploring how castings and the wider UK metal sector can be part of the solution for the transition to net zero. She will provide an overview of the industry, showcasing some of the newer developments and innovations being adopted by foundries and suppliers, including the use of additive manufacturing techniques, simulation, resource efficiency and process optimisation.
