AFS Scholarships The American Foundry Society is offering a sum of $4500 for full time students at OSU with an interest in casting and the foundry industry. These scholarships are based on your involvement in the club, as well as career goals and prior work experience. This year, you do require a letter of recommendation from an academic advisor or professor so make sure you get on that early and don't wait until the last minute. These applications are due December 31st. Further instructions and the application itself are attached in this email. Cast In Steel Competition CIS is similar to forged in fire, where teams design and produce a specified piece, and test it for durability and functionality. This year's competition is a Halligan Bar. This is a crowbar-like multitool that has been used by firefighters for over 50 years. It has to conform to some dimensional requirements, but other than that we have complete freedom to design and optimize its performance. After design and casting, we'll need to produce a technical report and video summary of our project. The team will then get to go to Milwaukee in April to compete. Trey and I are also working with Jason at CDME to set up a meeting with an actual fireman who is also in the foundry industry. He will be able to give us unique insight to optimize our project. More info is coming, but we'll need to get an official team together soon. Future Projects * Ornament casting - Trying to schedule for reading day (Dec 7th), more info soon. * Texnikoi plaques - Texnikoi is an engineering honorary at OSU, that has requested us to make some plaques for them. They already have the pattern, so we just need to find some time to make these castings for them. It will likely take several hours, as it is a bigger project, but any help would be greatly appreciated. (Date TBD) * New sand - We finally received new sand to use which should greatly improve the quality of castings we're able to make. It hasn't been mixed however, so we'll need some people to come help with that. (Date TBD) Benjamin Sorkin President, American Foundry Society Student Chapter Undergraduate Research Assistant, Lightweight Materials and Manufacturing Research Group The Ohio State University | Material Science and Engineering [cid:c75109ec-a2ea-4c29-a972-8375187aa2be] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We had a very nice turn out, enjoyed the tour and got to speak with several of the students about their projects. So with that, I do apologize for not following up earlier and thank you for opening your doors for us. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and all are well. There will be no meeting in December but please save the date, January 18, 2024, in which we will host all the students who applied for the Student Scholarship Program and hopefully hand out some checks. We are also going to have Mark DeBruin as our speaker and his topic will be on the Lost-Foam process. We do not currently have a location for this event as we are waiting to see what student involvement we have this year. STUDENTS, PLEASE DON'T FORGET to enroll in our program and send your applications to lbuergel at fishercaststeel.com . The next date to save, as you may know, is February 17, 2024. Our Winter Party which helps fund operating costs and the Student Scholarship Funds. Our team is currently working on a flyer but we will not release it until our tour of the facilities at Hollywood Casino in December. We will also have 15 rooms blocked of at a hotel near the casino. Thank you to all that joined us in October and thank you to all of you for your time and support. I will have updates in about 2 weeks. Have a great day Michael J.
