SCIENMET Group’s guidelines for metallurgical work are the development of new technological process of equipment, work materials, as well as the overhaul of the operating metallurgical equipment including heat-treatment furnaces and the advancement of metallurgical half-finished product process engineering.
The development of innovation guidelines for metallurgical work is entrusted with qualified specialists - Candidates and Doctors of Science having a degree in physical chemistry, thermo physics, hylology, metal forming.
There has been solved a number of complicated theoretical objectives in the field of:
thermodynamics and kinetics of evaporation and condensation of multi component alloys in vacuum heat transfer and mass transfer under high-speed electron-beam evaporation and sweating toward belting-backplane running above evaporate cooler crystallization of multi component alloys from the vapor phase and interrelationship of the structure with mechanical-and-physical properties of condensates It proved the development of the technological process of getting submicron foil with the required characteristics and the creation of the unique complex of experimental and industrial equipment.
The process of evaporation and condensation in vacuum is one of the most efficient techniques in the field of working out new material’s including multi component alloys and multilayer materials, as far as it makes possible to cut the time for the development and researching of new alloy samples in the wide-scaled concentrations and various structures.
You can be acquainted with these works in details in our latest articles containing references to our previous publications, including the following: Ulanovskiy I.B., Levitskiy I.A, Krupennikov S.A. «Theoretical aspects of heat- and mass transfer under high-speed electron-beam evaporation and sweating in vacuum». From the collected articles "Advanced technologies of light-weight and special alloys", Moscow FIZMATLIT, 2006. In addition to the process of evaporation and condensation in vacuum, we are working out other methods of developing work materials and metallurgical half-finished products.
In these furnaces the metal heating is performed by air, witch gets hot passing through the heater containing heat-liberating devices the made, for instance, of nichrome. The advantage of new air heaters is much bigger heat-away volume from the heat-liberating devices of these air heaters into the air; however the electric power supplying to the air heater remains the same. These air heaters not only save electric energy and space, but also are very reliable. They can be used both in newly designed furnaces and by the overhaul of the operating furnaces. For instance, replacement of old heaters by new ones at “Alkoa” - company’s metallurgical plant in Samara made it possible to organize the process of high-temperature ingot solution heat treatment in furnaces, intended for heating the aluminum alloys for cogging. Thus, the necessity to increase energy consumption, to import a number of new expensive furnaces for solution heat treatment, to carry out a large amount of construction works in the operating shop no longer arises.
Besides, we managed to increase in the shortest time the output of the can stock made of aluminium alloys manifold.
The overhaul made included not only application of the new heater type, but also the creation of a new automatic control system, the modernization of ventilators, the reinforcement of the furnace body insulation, etc.
The mentioned work included the thermo physical and engineering accountings, computer simulation, designing, manufacturing, assembling and fettling of new units and gears, working out of optimal heating technology.
