Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This project will provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly method to produce wear resistant cast iron products which are hard only in strategic locations and softer and more machinable elsewhere, creating a more flexible product in a one step process. This will contribute greatly towards the increased competitiveness in a wide range of European SMEs in a wide scope of industries, through the development of export and licensing opportunities outside of Europe. It will also contribute towards a range of EU environmental policies including end of life regulation, using only a very low fraction of heavy metals compared to current production methods for wear resistant products. OPTICAST will use recycled metal and products will be recyclable.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Cast iron machine tools are an important source of heavy metals in the environment and the food chain. EU-funded scientists have developed new processing technology to minimise heavy metal content as well as production costs and time.
