The Rubber Division announces February training opportunities
Akron, OH – The Rubber Division, ACS announces the following training courses for February:
February 8 – Webinar: Carbon Blacks Manufacturing, Properties & Applications in Rubber Compounds
February 13 – Webinar: Optimizing Rubber Molding Process through Advanced Simulations
February 15 – Webinar: Electroelastomers: Applications, Principles & Opportunities
February 21 – Course: Essentials of Rubber Technology
February 22 – Course: Essentials of Silicone Rubber
February 28 – Webinar: The Fatigue Limit of Rubber
February 29 – Webinar: Case Studies in Failure Analysis
Featured Training Courses for February start with, February 13 – Webinar: Optimizing Rubber Molding Process through Advanced Simulations
In this webinar, attendees will learn how simulating the behavior of rubber, silicones and LSRs during injection, transfer and compression molding process can help understand the root cause of various molding issues like imbalances, air, uneven curing, flashing, etc. Continuous improvements in part design, mold design and molding process are essential for maintaining a competitive edge in the ever-expanding rubber molding market. By using advanced CAE simulation technologies, design phases can be shortened, molding process can be predicted and molded parts can be optimized. Instructor: Harshal Bhogestra, Moldex3D
February 22 – Course: Essentials of Silicone Rubber
This course is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of silicone’s engineering characteristics. It will take you from creation of silicone from sand through formulating the compound and the various methods by which silicone can be fabricated into useful service articles. The subject matter will deal with the differences between high consistency rubber, caulks and the various liquid silicone rubbers. This course is suitable for those individuals having various degrees of knowledge in silicone materials and applications. Instructor: Joseph Walker, Elastomer Technologies
February 29 – Webinar: Case Studies in Failure Analysis
This webinar will discuss reasons items fail such as misapplication, lack of maintenance, manufacturing or design defects, etc. Also to be discussed is how to apply the scientific method during failure analysis and a few real-world examples will be used to demonstrate the principles that are presented. Instructor: Jason Poulton, ARDL
