Integration of Plasma Treatment Casting for Energy Savings in Cast Iron Foundries

Integration of Plasma Treatment Casting for Energy Savings in Cast Iron Foundries

 
Solution type: in Development phase

Upgrade the plasma treatment casting technology for foundry machinery

Funded by: ELFORSK

A PhD study will upgrade the plasma treatment casting technology (PTC) for use in foundry machinery so that, by optimising the feeders of the machinery with specially-designed arc welders, savings will be achieved in energy, sand and iron resources, and the end-product will have improved mechanical properties.
