Ultrasound reliably detects inclusions in aluminum production
Large, hard-to-access equipment and high temperatures: Foundries are home to extreme conditions. Working with liquid metal requires flexibility and resilience in humans and machines alike. With an eye to this challenging environment, a team of researchers from Fraunhofer IZFP was tasked with developing a new measuring system for customers from the aluminum industry to detect contamination in molten metal—an important tool during the production p…
How can the quality of aluminium be reliably secured? A newly developed ultrasonic system detects impurities quickly and efficiently – and could change the industry sustainably.The article Ultrasonic technology sets new standards for aluminium production first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
Thanks to its physical properties, aluminium plays a major role in the circular economy and achieving climate neutrality. High material quality is crucial for processing: impurities in the aluminium melt reduce the quality of finished components. Unlike previous analytical methods, the ultrasonic-based measuring system »AloX« of the Fraunhofer Institute for Non-Destructive Test Methods IZFP can detect existing inclusions equally reliably, quickl…
