The September issue of “Fundição e Serviços” is online. The highlight, on page 62, goes to the preview of “Fenaf – 17^th Latin American Foundry Fair” (São Paulo, September, 26^th to 29^th), bringing to FS readers a sample of what will be announced at the event, which happens at a considerably more positive time compared to the last edition, in 2015. The programming of Conaf - Abifa Foundry Congress is presented in the sequence. Read on page 38 the article “Analysis of the surface quality of the compacted graphite cast iron FV450 after tangential flat grinding”, work that presents the results of tests performed on samples of vermicular cast iron, after a flat grinding with silicon carbide grinding wheel. See on page 46, the article “The determination of the ideal Sr content for the modification of the eutectic phase of Al-Si alloys”, a study that proves to what extent the reduction of the growth temperature of the eutectic silicon phase correlates with the additions of strontium and the mechanical properties under tensile strength (total elongation and strength limit) in the case of aluminum-silicon alloys. This issue brings also the update “Hoists, traveling cranes and overhead monorails”, “Aluminum & magnesium alloys” and “Mold and pattern resins” buyers’ guides.
