ALVA2

Project idea

The objective of the project is to increase the robustness and predictability of hot aluminium forming by significantly raising the level of understanding regarding the tribological phenomena occurring in the evaluated processes, creating best practice guidelines and developing and implementing advanced friction modelling into forming simulations. The generated knowledge and methodologies will be applicable to other hot forming processes as well as the general development of friction models for various processes and applications.

The project consortium has representation from all relevant parts of the value chain concerning hot forming of aluminium as well as relevant industrial applications. Many of the project partner organisations work with applications within different types of industries and thus have the possibility to implement and spread the results across industries.
The individual project partners will raise their level of competence and the collaboration between project partners will be strengthened. This will increase the competitiveness of the value chain in total as well as the individual partners.
