LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen develops simulation-based fundamentals for wire processing of the ZAX210 alloy

Magnesium is one of the lightest metallic construction materials, easily recyclable, and highly attractive for many industrial applications. Nevertheless, the material has so far remained a niche product, mainly because it can only be formed to a limited extent. Conventional processes quickly reach their limits, especially in the manufacture of wires.

Research project paves the way for resource-efficient construction

In the CEScaleUP research project, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, together with the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), the Research Association of the Austrian Building Materials Industry (FBI) and Meixner ZT, is developing a digital ecosystem that promotes the sustainable use of building materials and facilitates the recycling of components. Given the goal of renovating around half of Austria's building stock by 2030, innovative concepts such as urban mining and the digital circular economy are indispensable. This is exactly where CEScaleUP comes in, providing key solutions for the transformation of the construction industry.
