The Technology Centre specialized in metallurgy and metallic materials transformation processes has recently incorporated the capabilities of the program SysWeld. An additional tool that supports the wide experience with the specialized software Thermolcalc (design and optimization of heat treatments) and Dictra (prediction of the behaviour of metallic components during heat treatment).
The Technology Centre, specialized in metallic materials and their transformation processes, also participated in the conception and setting-up of the SP21 nodular foundry plant of AAPICO PORTUGAL (former SAKTHI PORTUGAL), dedicated to the manufacturing of cast iron components for the automotive sector.
The new system fosters energy savings up to 6% as well as a significant lead-time improvement of production, acting over the cooling process and taking advantage of the energy from spheroidal cast components after solidification.
NADCAP accreditation update that certifies the technical capabilities of AZTERLAN for the advanced characterization of metallic materials within the aerospace industry.
Within the Druckgusstag 2020 congress focused on HPDC technologies, researcher Emili Barbarias has shared the experience of the Technology Centre in the development of integrated 4.0 industry solutions for aluminium foundry.
