EUROGUSS 2022 – SPEAKERS CORNER:

What will the foundry industry look like in 2030? What are the effects of concentration, consolidation, competition, press sizes and process integration? What influence do the new vehicle architectures have on structural casting? Will Advanced High Strength Steel and Ultra High Strength Steel be possible competitive materials? What are the consequences of gigamachines and tool technology on the utilization of smaller casting capacities? The CO2 reduction competition has begun – is steel greener than aluminium?

At the event, which is organized in cooperation with ALUMAG®, representatives from OEMs will discuss the future of aluminum die casting in lectures and a panel discussion.
