Thank you for visiting the IskraISD stand at one of the fairs and taking the time to respond and to evaluate our efforts in the CastQC project.
The CastQC project focuses on the cost-effective upscaled production HPDC technology and Al-matrix strengthening mechanism with the non-equilibrium quasicrystalline (QC) phase. The demonstration in a relevant environment shows that the QC alloy has 30% higher mechanical properties than the commercial EN AC-46000 (DIN 226) alloy. To achieve the same functionality, the QC alloy requires 30% less Al (and generates 20% less CO2 emissions). Due to the lower weight of the products, the environmental impacts will be reduced throughout the whole value chain. The QC alloy will bridge the gap in market demand for lightweight materials and contribute to the increased competitiveness of the EU automotive industry. The main goal of the CastQC project is to reach TRL 8 and enter the market with the novel QC alloy to (partially) substitute commercial Al-alloys, steels or even some Ti and Mg alloys.
We met at one of the trade fairs in 2023 or 2024, where we briefly introduced the potential applications of the CastQC alloy. As some time has passed, we would like to invite you to complete this questionnaire to reconfirm your interest.
As part of the CastQC project, a new company will be established to handle the commercialization process. A representative from this company will reach out to you based on your responses.
We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you.
