Production of alloys with controlled composition and thermomechanical treatments
The Model Alloy Fabrication (Fab-Al) platform is dedicated to the production of model alloys with controlled composition, as well as their shaping through thermomechanical treatments. It enables the production of ingots for research and services, with precise monitoring of chemical compositions throughout the production process.
Capabilities of the Fab-Al platform
Production of alloys with controlled composition
The platform features a melting furnace for:
- producing alloys with controlled composition;
- monitoring chemical compositions during production to ensure compliance with formulation objectives.
Hot and cold thermomechanical treatments
Fab-Al offers shaping methods through:
- hammering
- rolling
- swaging machine
with hot and cold treatment capabilities to explore the influence of processes on microstructure and properties.
Collaborative research and services
The platform supports:
- collaborative research projects (academic/industrial);
- ingot production for services (test series, study materials, composition comparisons).
Who is it for?
The Fab-Al platform is intended for:
- research teams (projects, theses, publications);
- industrial partners (R&D, qualification, alloy development, comparative testing);
- projects requiring reproducible and documented alloy production.
