Objective
A high proportion of ferrous castings require some form of weld repair, necessitating localised post-heating and/or preheating. Present approaches are expensive and difficult to control and thus an alternative method that overcomes these difficulties would offer significant benefits to the European SME foundry industry. It would also provide a significant benefit by enabling foundries to tailor the local properties of their castings to meet more closely the needs of their customers, offering a competitive edge over Third World country foundries. The objective of the proposed Stage 2 co-operative research project is the collaborative development, validation and demonstration of a prototype low cost system for localised heating of castings.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
