COST541.ULG.AC.BE
::: Cost 541 :::The main objective is the development of an industrial applicable process for the thixoforming of steel alloys. Investigation of material properties with respect to the inductive heating (thermo-physical properties) and the die filling behaviour of steel in semi-solid state. Development of algorithms based on Finite Element Analysis for the simulation of the thixoforming process and the inductive heating. Optimising the control of the process chain including handling of the billets, parts etc.
