DigiMAT project featured on Basque TV

Sin categoría

DigiMAT project has recently been featured on Teknopolis TV program (emited by EITB on June 12th) as a part of the reportage "Digital and Green Metallurgy". Among the interviews performed to members from different technology centres, AZTERLAN researcher Argoitz Zabala, coordinator of Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies research line, explained part of the research work performed within the DigiMAT project: "we have focused on the right traceability of manufacturing processes. Capturing data from different parts of the proccess is not enough, on the contrary, correlation between data must be performed to find out which parametres have affected the characteristics of the components manufactured". Researcher Argoitz Zabala, coordinator of Intelligent Manufacturing Processes (AZTERLAN) was inteviewed by Teknopolis TV program. DIGIMAT Smart Module is shown in the screens behind him.

Thermolan® system promotes the industrial manufacturing of CGI

Sin categoría

AZTERLAN Metallurgy Research Centre has created a new technology that reinforces the industrial manufacturing of Compact Graphite Iron (CGI) components, based on Thermolan® system. Based on thermal analysis (using Thermolan® system), the new development from AZTERLAN Metallurgy Research Center correlates the various factors involved in the formation of compact graphite (CGI) and provides a significant boost to the industrial production of compact graphite iron cast components. Compact graphite iron (CGI), also known as vermicular graphite iron, displays outstanding mechanical properties such as high thermal conductivity and vibration damping, comprised between those of lamellar and spheroidal cast iron. These qualities make this material notably attractive for applications that require high thermal conductivity, which are currently manufactured in grey cast iron. Due to its higher mechanical properties, the use of CGI allows…
