  Real-time system monitorization equipped for the melting process analysis (state of charge, quantification of heat losses, energy efficiency, ...) as well as the state of the mould and solidification process during casting (cooling velocity, microstructure evolution, ...). The facility has also the capability of adding alloying elements so as to design and develop new chemical compositions; but also mould preheating equipment up to 1200ºC in the protective atmosphere combinable with centrifugal casting system up to 350 rpm.

  Characteristics
  Study and development of new super alloys for high added value applications (aeronautics, bioengineering, ...)
  Advanced characterization test of the induction heating process and ISM melting of metal alloys
  Numerical analysis and experimental development of permanent and ceramic precision moulds for obtaining demonstration samples
  Advanced characterization tests of the process for phase formation and microstructure growth
  Reactivity characterization tests through the analysis of metal-mould and / or metal-atmosphere interactions
