Last semester, foundry club was lucky to visit two impressive foundries. In November, we made separate trips to PCC airfoils in Minerva, OH and Adalet Enclosure Systems in Cleveland, OH. AFS Central Ohio Chapter members joined us for the Adalat tour and lunch.
Adalet: OSU foundry club students, AFS COC members and Adalet Engineers.

In early April 2022, foundry club students visited ASK Chemicals in Dublin, OH. As part of our collaboration efforts with AFS and FEF, we frequently tour foundries and foundry industry companies. This semester we toured ASK Chemicals, a foundry supply company that specializes in products supporting the sand casting industry.

This past January 2022, the AFS Central Ohio Chapter gave scholarships to foundry club students at Ohio State. This year, four students received scholarships from AFS COC totaling $4,500. At our annual scholarship night with AFS COC, the scholarships were presented to our students in-person this year as we begin resuming normal activities. These scholarships are awarded based on student involvement and interest in the foundry club and foundry industry. Congratulations to this year’s AFS scholarship recipients!
