Dr Eng. Rafał Dojka from the Silesian University of Technology won the Prime Minister’s Award in the category of an outstanding doctoral dissertation. The jury appreciated his dissertation “Investigation on the gating system: Reoxidation in the mould”.

The award was granted for a significant expansion of knowledge regarding the optimization of the foundry, in particular, a gating system that is crucial for the entire process. The results of the work are patented, well disseminated on an international scale and implemented in Polish foundry companies.

– The use of the developed solutions allows reducing the risk of casting defects and improving the mechanical properties of castings. The developed solutions can be used for gravity casting of all types of alloys – says the laureate.
