The results of research on working conditions and labor safety assessment in foundries are presented. production factors with different types their impact injuries professional incidence workers considered. Recommendations to improve reduce foundry given.

BACKGROUND Manganese (Mn) used as raw material for melting process in the ferrous foundry is considered as hazardous neurotoxic substance because it accumulates in the central nervous system and may cause neurological disorders. The furnace-men and melting department workers are potentially exposed to manganese particles or fume in the workplace. The objective of the research has been to invest...

The Manchester Synthetic Biology Research Centre (SYNBIOCHEM) is a foundry for the biosynthesis and sustainable production of fine and speciality chemicals. The Centre's integrated technology platforms provide a unique capability to facilitate predictable engineering of microbial bio-factories for chemicals production. An overview of these capabilities is described.

Ge-on-Si has been demonstrated as a platform for Si foundry compatible plasmonics. We use laser thermal annealing to demonstrate activated doping levels >1020 cm-3 which allows most of the 3 to 20 μm mid-infrared sensing window to be covered with enhancements comparable to gold plasmonics.

The Steel Founders’ Society regularly surveys member companies to determine the typical practices used in steel casting production. SFSA has also promoted the participation of member companies in the Performance Benchmarking survey available each year to members of participating manufacturing associations. It is useful to take a look across the results of the past several years and to reflect o...

Much has been written about fume fever (brass caster's ague, zinc chills, zinc shakes), and lead poisoning in brass foundries has been dealt with recently by Stalker (1947) and Hamlin and Weber (1947), but the references to pulmonary fibrosis amongst non-ferrous foundry workers are few. Stalker wrote that " the incidence of advanced silicosis has been generally low among [brass] foundrymen ". M...
