Scientists from the University of Birmingham recently completed research on aluminum alloys that paves the way for improving the tensile strength of alloys used in casting and welding. The research focused on how microscopic crystals grow and change shape in molten metals as they cool. Led by Dr. Biao Cai from the university’s School of Metallurgy […]
By Martin Lawrence, Reed Hendershot, and Avishek Guha, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and Mike Dines, Tandom Metallurgical Abstract Significant improvements can be made to aluminum remelting by optimizing furnace performance using Industry 4.0 methodology and by applying the digital twin concept to the melting process. In metal remelting applications, the current practice relies heavily […]
