Foundry Technology Engineering
As part of the Master’s program, students learn about the key stages of manufacturing castings, designing foundry tooling and modeling the processes of melt-filling of casting molds, and the features of the formation of the structure of castings and defects in castings. While working on their own research projects, students develop new materials and alloys using modern digital foundry technologies, make a forecast of future material properties, create prototypes of castings, and use additive manufacturing technologies. Students also investigate the properties of synthetic diamonds, jewelry and decorative minerals, establish regularities of mineral and alloy properties when creating artistic and technical products.
