Aseguramiento de la Calidad en las Fundiciones de Aluminio, en Base a los Procedimientos de Moldeo en el Laboratorio de Fundición de la Facultad de Mecánica

Abstract

A Quality Assurance plan has been developed in aluminum smelters, based on the molding procedures, in the foundry laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanics, in order to implement the documentation and establish an optimal procedure to ensure the quality. Proper execution of the molding methods which is a fundamental part of the casting process will result in the fulfillment of technical parameters in order to obtain a quality product. Sand casting consists of casting the aluminum in a sand mold, letting it solidify and then breaking the mold to remove the cast. The Quality Assurance system should be considered as a daily plan applicable in the Institution in order to make best practices, this depends on the participation of all those who are immersed or committed in the area of ​​foundry. The approach to continuous improvement of education, proposes a constant challenge and involves a daily struggle to meet the established standards, in order to achieve better levels of quality and productivity. With these results, the Faculty of Mechanics will have in its foundry laboratory procedures and instructions necessary for a better learning and understanding of the tests performed for the students. It is suggested that a preliminary induction be made to those who use the foundry workshop, referring to the work instructions proposed in the quality assurance plan. A Quality Assurance plan has been developed in aluminum smelters, based on the molding procedures, in the foundry laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanics, in order to implement the documentation and establish an optimal procedure to ensure the quality. The correct execution of molding methods is a fundamental part of the casting process.
