Objective The project deals with working up of foamed aluminium for making marketable products for architecture and furnishing. Especially technologies for the configuration of the surface and for joining of foamed aluminium will be investigated, developed and optimised. General aims of the project are: - prettiness of products - reproducibility of properties of surfaces and joinings - economical efficient procedures - avoiding of ecological problems with procedures and products Important working fields (with respect to foamed aluminium) are: - "cut" (saw, lathe, mill, erode) - mechanical surface treatment (grind, brush, sandblast, polish) - painting, varnish - chemical surface treatment (corrode, eloxadize) - soldering and welding - adhesive bonding (design, adhesives) - clamping, tucking - foamed in attachment elements Fields of science humanitiesartsvisual artsnatural scienceschemical sciencesinorganic chemistrypost-transition metals Programme(s) FP4-BRITE/EURAM 3 - Specific research and technological development programme in the field of industrial and materials technologies, 1994-1998 Topic(s) 0202 - New methodologies for product design and manufacture Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme EAW - Exploratory awards Coordinator Zeitform Design GmbH EU contribution No data Address 5,Pachmeyrstraße 4040 Linz Austria See on map Total cost No data
