Automotive car makers increasingly use light-weight aluminium structures to reduce the environmental footprint of cars during life-of-use (lower energy consumption) and to allow for the heavy batteries used in electric vehicles.
Aluminium is extensively used in food packaging because it provides a unique durability. Longer durability leads to less food wastage. The challenge is to make sure that the aluminium packaging is reclaimed and goes back into the circuit. The main...
AluMar skal utvikle forbedrede, sjøvannsbestandige aluminiumskomponenter for havrommet.
The goal of the project is to establish technology to make demanding components for automotive, enabling lighter cars with reduced CO2-emission.
I prosjektet I-PAL - Integrated hardening and sheet pressforming of aluminium - samarbeider Raufoss Technology, AP&T, Norsk Hydro, SINTEF Materialer og kjemi og SINTEF Raufoss Manufacturing for å utvikle en integrert varmformings- og...
The CastAl innovation project aimed to decrease energy consumption in aluminium casthouses, both primary and remelters and reduce aluminium loss in production.
The project's main objective is to develop new energy-efficient processes for the production of high quality aluminum components for use in vehicles and aircrafts. This will make the production process cheaper. Norwegian forging companies have thus...
The FeVIND project shall develop new knowledge built into new simulation tools and sub-routines, which will contribute to a more intelligent design and a reduction of todays oversized cast iron wind turbine components, new/improved materials and a...
The LowEx project aims at developing sheet ingot materials with low CO2 footprint for automotive heat-exchangers. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions from current levels by at least 1 ton per ton aluminium produced.
Norwegian cast iron foundries have identified a clear potential for improving their competitiveness by mastering use of alloyed (Cr) and galvanized (Zn) scrap, improving slag control for higher productivity and better product quality and reaching...
The goal of this project is to increase the understanding of the interaction between the quality of incoming materials, the hardening process and the resulting products. Thus, it is aimed to understand better how variations of incoming materials...
The overall objective of AMPERE is to establish a scientific basis that allows designing alloys and processing schedules to yield optimum combinations of mechanical properties and electrical conductivity at elevated temperatures (in-service...
MADAM is a 4 year innovation project aiming at the development of production routes for high performance silicon-based material for additive manufacturing.
AleMo develop high-pressure die cast aluminium alloys with improved properties and/or reduced CO2 footprint to increase the use of aluminium in electrically-powered vehicles.
By increasing energy efficiency, HighEFF will help ensure that Norway has the world’s greenest industries.
