Master the Processes Behind Modern Casting
FoundryCrest is an online educational platform dedicated to teaching the science and techniques of producing castings in foundries. The courses cover topics such as casting processes, materials, molds, melting, finishing, and quality control.
The Fundamentals of Casting
Describe the elements of casting, including patterns, molds, cores, pouring, and solidification.
Foundry Materials
Identify the effect of metals, alloys, molding materials, and additives on casting.
Production Methods
Discuss techniques for preparing molds, controlling melting and pouring, and enhancing casting quality.
Build Stronger Foundry Knowledge
By linking technical expertise and real-life production knowledge, FoundryCrest provides a framework for students to comprehend how each process relates to the others.
Quality Control
Discover how flaws in castings occur and how inspection techniques can uncover issues in the process.
Process Knowledge
Understand every step from mixing the materials to pouring the metal.
Contemporary Production
Study the most cost-effective ways to make castings, streamline processes, operate machinery, and ensure uniformity of output.
The course also gave me insight as to how a foundry works in reality. This included topics such as molds, melting, and casting defects, all of which were presented in an understandable manner.

Learn More Than Just Casting
The process of foundry production has several interrelated steps, each with its own impact on the resulting casting. FoundryCrest allows students to expand their knowledge of the entire process and its decision-making.
Solidification & Cooling
The transformation of metal from liquid to solid during solidification. Effect of cooling on the quality of castings
Patterns & Molds
How patterns, molds and cores are made to produce proper castings
Melting & Pouring
The theory of melting metals, heat control and pouring
Inspection & Finishing
Common casting defects, approaches to inspecting castings, surface finishing and improving castings
