Key information Project in the Spotlight: N21022 Market: Circularity Written by the project team: Jeroen van Beeck (M2i) Introduction In May of 2022, NWO granted the program Data Enhanced Physical models to reduce Materials use (DEPMAT) under the Perspectief call. This five years research program is led by Prof. dr. ir. Ton van
Key information Project in the Spotlight: T16046 Market: Materials production Written by: Viktoria Savran Dynamic behaviour of liquid-solid systems applied to the blast furnace hearth The blast furnace is quite possibly the most intricate multiphase system. With high temperature liquid iron and slag, burden particles and reduction gases; enormous volume and different
Key information Project in the Spotlight: T17019h (DENS) Market: Materials production Written by: Viktoria Savran Modelling austenite decomposition: bainite, acicular ferrite, heat of transformation and effect of deformation Introduction Important progress has been made in the development of metallurgical models that describe the behaviour of steel both during steel processing and during
Objectives: Fontijne Grotnes b.v. manufactures production lines for steel wheels. Part of this line comprises of stations where steel plate is coiled, flattened and transported to the butt weld machine. During this transportation the open ring is aligned and positioned correctly in the weld machine. To reduce costs a concept change was proposed in
Objectives: Identify and quantify all relevant aspects of dimensional changes due to phase transformations in bearings. The hardened steels applied in precision products like bearings are sensitive to dimensional changes on exposure to stress and elevated temperature. M2i project: Study on phase transformation mechanism as function of temperature and stress.
Objectives: OPTFORM provides an optimisation algorithm for metal forming processes using time consuming Finite Element (FE) simulations. It utilizes meta modelling techniques like Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments (DACE). M2i project: Numerical prediction of the variation in maximum feasible blank size due to variations in
Objectives: HIsarna is a technology developed by a consortium of European Steelmakers aims at a reduced CO2 emission by 50%. The HIsarna process is based on batch smelting. It combines pre heating and partial pyrolysis of coal in a cyclone were the ore melts. The melting vessel where iron is collected also reduces
