Two standards on the Reduced Pressure Test and the Specific Gravity Test for aluminum melts were recently approved as part of the AFS Standards Initiative. These standards are the first two fully approved standards, but more are currently being developed on Grain Refinement of Aluminum Alloys, the Use of Printed Sand in Casting Production, and Furan 3D Printing Safety, among others. 

AFS Standards are currently uploaded to the AFS Store but will in time transition to the upcoming AFS ePlatform being developed on the AMC Virtual Knowledge Transfer Platforms project, which will be publicly demonstrated in the Casting Source Theatre on April 13 during Cast Expo.
