Projects in casting

High-pressure die casting (HPDC) of large components presents several technical challenges. The aim of the MoReuse project is to identify key tool parameters that influence wear patterns and tool lifespan, develop systematic measurement methods, and propose solutions to prevent and manage wear—such…

The project creates the conditions for a digital computer vision tool for the next generation of quality control of surface defects on cast components.

Swedish steel foundries need to increase value creation in the heat treatment of castings by shortening process times and increasing flexibility with regard to costs, time, energy consumption and climate footprint. At the same time, there is a great need for skills development for the ongoing digit…

Reduce the environmental impact of the sand molding process in foundries by developing a machine learning model to optimize the sand recycling process.

The project LivsVerk aims to increase service life, reduce unplanned stops and increase remanufacturing of die casting tools. This is achieved by improving the surface of tools by developing the right surface properties in the right place. Routines and strategies for wear analysis, maintenance, rep…

The cluster for component manufacturing is one of eight clusters within the Swedish Production Cluster. The cluster focuses on research and development in advanced manufacturing of components for the automotive industry.

Cast metals with imbedded sensors is a new concept that answers some of the metal industry challenges; resource savings, increased added value and participation in the digital revolution. The project delivered entirely new, robust and cost-efficient sensor-systems integrated into castings, that ena…
