The LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen presents the latest research results of the magnesium alloy development at the ALUMINIUM 2018.
Date: 09. - 11. October 2018
Location: Messe Düsseldorf, Hall 10, Magnesium Area, Booth 10I45 (shared booth EFM)
Materials for Tomorrow: Flame Resistant Magnesium Alloys
In a research project at LKR, scientists have succeeded in developing flame-retardant magnesium alloys which self-extinguish in the event of a fire.
Wire-arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)
The LKR is developing new, modified aluminium and magnesium materials which are used as filler wires for welding, bracing and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) for rapid prototyping.
New at LKR: Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine
LKR is expanding its industrial related casting research portfolio by the start-up of a new cold chamber high-pressure die casting machine (FRECH K-DAK1100 type). The cold chamber die casting machine with a horizontal casting unit will be applied for casting of Aluminium parts up to 20 kg in industrial scaled research projects.
horizontal continuous casting line
The new horizontal continuous casting line makes it possible to produce semi-finished products from special alloys on a semi-industrial scale, including those for the production of welding wire, with a short delivery time and at low costs.
