ASHLAND ANNOUNCES INNOVATIVE DESIGN SERVICES CENTER
03 December 2004 - Ashland Inc

Ashland Casting Solutions, a business group within Ashland Specialty Chemical, a division of Ashland Inc., announces the opening of its Design Services Center at the company's headquarters in Dublin, Ohio. The center is a 'one-stop shop' for the metal casting industry providing support from engineered drawings through casting and testing in Ashland's design-to-manufacture process.

An example of the total innovative solutions package available from Ashland, the Design Services Center is staffed with engineers dedicated to meeting the needs of the complex and diverse metal casting industry. The Center offers the latest technologies and technical support to help Ashland's customers optimize casting designs and processes to increase productivity and profitability.

Using Arena-flow1 software, Ashland can produce animated simulations of sand core blowing and gassing processes. With EXACTCALC® methoding software, Ashland determines the mold gating and risering required to optimize mold filling. And, with Novaflow & Solid2 software, Ashland can validate the casting design and predict and eliminate defects.

'Our Design Services Center team works to provide the total solution from concept to completion,' said Mike Swartzlander, vice president, Ashland Specialty Chemical, and general manager, Ashland Casting Solutions. 'Working with customers from engineered drawings through casting and testing, we have the unique ability to make their processes more productive and profitable while improving quality.'
