Complimentary NADCA Webinar Series
Register: http://www.diecastingdesign.org/webinar
This webinar series is designed to inform the OEM about the benefits and capabilities of structural diecastings and their applications. This new and growing segment of the high pressure die casting industry provides die cast components for critical applications since they are high in ductility, and are also weldable and heat treatable due to extremely low porosity levels. Steve Udvardy, North American Die Casting Association - http://www.diecasting.org - Director of Research, Education & Technology will be presenting a three part webinar series.
