The target of this project is to enable more sustainable car production patterns by developing a new modular mould concept and simulation tools to enable larger low-pressure die cast safety-critical parts and by this reduce the need for casting and welding of multiple parts, thus also reduced handling and transport between production sites.
Aludyne, SINTEF and IFE will during the project develop solutions including a new modular mould technology, sealings for metal-to-metal contact and a digital twin for the heat treatment process to optimize process and control deformations.
