Shiloh Industries Awarded DOE Grant to Reduce Environmental Impact of Casting
September 06 2016 - 12:12PM
Shiloh Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHLO), a leading supplier of
lightweighting, noise and vibration solutions, has been awarded
funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) HPC4Mfg program to
accelerate the development of innovative energy efficient casting
methods.
For the project, titled “Development of a Transformational
Micro-Cooling Technology for High-Pressure Die Casting using
High-Performance Computing", Shiloh will work with Oak Ridge
National Laboratory to accurately model the detail boiling in
casting cooling channels. The ability to model critical variables
such as uniform temperature distribution, various mechanical
properties and heat transfer related defects will have a major
impact on energy management and efficiency.
“By incorporating high performance computing into our analytical
processes we will be able to accurately model large sections of the
cooling channels. The data will be used in our tool
simulations to create dies that will operate with lower energy
costs and shorter cycles, reducing waste and rejected parts,” said
Alex Reikher, Technical Fellow, research and development at Shiloh
Industries.
The High Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg)
Program was established in March 2015 to create an ecosystem that
allows experts at DOE’s national laboratories to work directly with
manufacturing industry members. The program teaches manufacturers
how to adopt or advance their use of high performance computing
(HPC) to address manufacturing challenges with a goal of increasing
energy efficiency, reducing environmental impacts, and advancing
clean energy technologies.
