Goal:

The goal of ProMetHeus is to achieve a holistic integration of digital tools, such as automatic image processing and hybrid modeling, to solve metallurgical challenges.

The focus is on increasing the efficiency, sustainability and robustness of processes in the metal and plastics processing industry.

The use cases include innovative processes for the energy-saving deep-drawing of titanium alloys, the reforming of in-house and end-of-life scrap (recycling without remelting), the optimization of wire production for electromobility, recycling alloys for giga-casting processes and semi-solid casting processes.

RECENDT develops and tests high-resolution measurement methods based on laser ultrasound for the non-destructive analysis of the microstructure of aluminum components and for defect detection on wires from various stages of wire drawing.
