Experimental Study on Deep-Drawing Dies Made of Pre-Stressed UHPC.

Deep drawing is a cost-efficient way of producing sheet metal parts in high production volumes. Prototypes and very small series are expensive due to the cost of steel-forming tools. Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) tools offer a cheap and fast alternative to conventional steel-forming tools.

A Method for Characterising the Influence of Casting Parameters on the Metallurgical Bonding of Copper and Steel Bimetals.

Traditional casting technology offers two mayor drawbacks towards research activities. On the one hand, time and resources needed for every casting are rather high. The mould has to be able to withstand the high temperatures introduced by the melt and provide cooling for the cast part.
