Preliminary
schedule
Training Workshop: Developing and Managing Metalworking Fluids for Sustainable Success
The training course is intended for individuals requiring an improved understanding of water-dilutable metalworking fluids (MWFs) and why they fail, including fluid formulators, engineers responsible for using, managing or specifying MWFs, tool manufacturers, and those supplying raw materials and additives for MWFs.
Learn about fluid problems and their causes, and ways to minimize the risk of failure. The training course will first review basic information on fluids, water quality, metallurgies, etc., as well as performance factors typically evaluated in the laboratory and their correlation with field performance. The major part of the seminar will discuss failure modes and causes and ways to mitigate risk and will include a range of case studies to consolidate knowledge.
Training Workshop: Lubrication Challenges of Electric Vehicles
The training course is intended for those who would benefit from an improved understanding of the principles and limitations of the internal combustion engine, the basic construction and benefits of electric motors for automotive propulsion, and those supplying parts and lubricants to the automotive markets.
You will learn lubrication fundamentals and how they apply to current and future automotive propulsion systems, as well as the lubrication challenges unique to hybrid and full electric vehicles.
