Participants will be able to approach topics which are important both for industrial engineers (knowledge of innovative solutions and approaches) and for researchers (knowledge of the industrial requirements to be targeted by innovation), in areas including alloy design, recycling, processing of recycled alloys and life cycle analyses.
Course content
- In-field lab 1: Design of alloys.
- In-field lab 2: Foundry lab.
- In-field lab 3: High pressure diecasting lab.
