Simulation and Foundry Youth Award: Premiazione TECNOFORM

In Brescia, the prize dedicated to young talents in foundry simulation
The three young people that Ecotre Valente Srl, a Brescia-based metallurgical and process specialist, awarded on Thursday 27 May during the webinar dedicated to casting simulation with QuikCAST Light, QuikCAST and ProCAST software are just over twenty years old.
This is Marcello Milesi, a young 21 year old from Bergamo, of GMP Group Srl, leader in the production of alloy wheels; by Pietro Faccondini of Fonderia Morri Snc of Rimini and by Mirko Fiscato of Tecnoform Srl of Longare, Vicenza. An award that recognizes in young people skills, growth objectives in the world of work and which expresses the innovative and competitive potential of the new generations.
"In this period marked by the pandemic, young people have been able to bring innovation, skills and a positive impact into the companies throughout the metallurgical sector - said Lorenzo Valente, CEO of Ecotre Valente - The hope is that more and more young people approach the world of metallurgical process simulation, a fundamental tool in the company for reducing costs, times and scrap.

The HPDC School: Let’s start the Open Seminars

In parallel to the fifth edition of the training course for technologists of diecasting, the school launches a program of technical seminars free online and open to all. Why the transfer of skills continue, and not just for students! The first online appointment to mark in your diary is May 12 at 10:00 with "Shrinkage porosity defects: casting simulation and tomography ", by Ecotre Valente, in collaboration with AQM, during which it will come treated the issue of defects in diecastings, describing the simulation software able to predict the shrinkage porosity and focusing on tomographic techniques in the diecasting sector.

Stepped Pin – Load & Corner Fill – Software DEFORM

Process simulation was run using DEFORM to study the die fill and load requirements. The designer’s suspicions were confirmed.
The simulation allowed the designer to study the load at various forming steps and compare design alternatives for both die fill and load. The outside corner of the smallest step is the most difficult feature to fill using this process.
A redesigned progression was developed and confirmed using DEFORM to quantify the results prior to making dies.

Simulation of heat treatment of jominy specimen to improve quality of automotive gear components

In order to validate heat treatment cycle, microstructure and mechanical properties, Jominy test has been virtualized into heat treatment simulation software. Real Jominy tests have been transferred inside simulation software for different steel grades used for automotive gear box application.
A model to forecast microstructure and mechanical properties for Jominy specimen is built and benchmarked with experimental data. Alignment between simulation results and reality allows to transfer model definition from Jominy samples to complete real components, improving quality assurance capability for real process thanks to usage of heat treatment cycle virtualization for gear box realized with different steel grades.

Ecotre-Colosio-ESI win the METEF innovation award

ESI’s exclusive Italian Casting Agent Ecotre Valente s.r.l, Italian Die Casting Machine manufacturer Colosio s.r.l and ESI Group were jointly awarded the METEF 2017 International Innovation Award in the “Machinery” category - For the development of an integrated simulation software / press configuration aimed at reaching the cost and quality requirements for a specified die cast product. From being empiric and approximate, the choice of a press becomes objective and precise, aligned with the characteristics of a real press. Ecotre-ESI & Colosio were located adjacently at the METEF exhibition to display this technological innovation to the die casting community.
