Castings Development Centre.ENGLAND--The Castings Development Centre (CDC See Control Data, century date change and Back Orifice. CDC - Control Data Corporation ), Sheffield, England, has secured support from a consortium of 13 aerospace companies and casting manufacturers and DTI's Civil Aviation Research and Demonstration program for a 2.5-year project that is part of a long-term strategic initiative to achieve world-class status in high-performance aluminum casting. New approaches to manufacturing light alloy alloy (ăl`oi, əloi`) [O. Fr.,=combine], substance with metallic properties that consists of a metal fused with one or more metals or nonmetals. castings will be developed. In addition, a 1500-sq-in casting facility at CDC's Sheffield headquarters will be dedicated to aerospace and motorsport sectors. The CDC also is planning the commission of a large-scale vacuum induction melting Vacuum Induction Melting is a process for melting metal under vacuum conditions using electromagnetic induction. It works by creating electrical eddy currents in the metal which heats the "charge" to melt it. facility for high-alloy steels, super alloys and titanium alloys Titanium alloys are metallic materials which contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures), light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme . |
