  2. 1. The unexpected implications of opening up innovation : A multi-perspective study of the role of Open Innovation practices in mature industries

    Author : Andres Ramirez-Portilla; Terrence Brown; Enrico Cagno; Marcel Bogers; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; open innovation; practices; innovation performance; industrial performance; sustainability; SMEs; manufacturing sector; automotive industry; foundry industry; food industry; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

    Abstract : The way firms innovate has notably changed in recent years. A clear example is the manufacturing sector which has been experiencing a new revolution in production and innovation. Linked to this industrial shift, manufacturing firms have been adopting more open and collaborative practices to innovate. READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy efficiency and ventilation in Swedish industries barriers, simulation and control strategy

    Author : Patrik Rohdin; Bahram Moshfegh; Hazim Awbi; Magnus Karlsson; Alfred Moser; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Industrial energy efficiency; Industrial ventilation; Barriers; Driving forces. CFD; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The energy issue is presently in focus worldwide. This is not only due to increasing environmental concern regarding energy related emissions, but also due to the trend of increasing energy prices. Energy usage in the industrial sector in Sweden today represents about one third of the national energy use. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characteristics of cast aluminium-silicon alloys : microstructures and mechanical properties

    Author : Salem Seifeddine; Birger Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aluminium; Mocrostructure; Porosity; Tensile properties; Modelling; Chemical process and manufacturing engineering; Kemisk process- och produktionsteknik; Materials science;

    Abstract : Applications of aluminium alloys are spreading in many industrial fields due to the excellent combination of castability, mechanical performance and lightness assured by such material. This project aims to establish a methodology in bringing the foundry process closer to the casting designer, and thereby leading to a more reliable and more optimised design. READ MORE

  6. 4. Factors Related to the Formation of Gas Porosity in Grey Cast Iron: Investigation of Core Gas Evolution and Gas Concentrations in Molten Iron

    Author : Jessica Orlenius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; core binders; Gas porosity; hydrogen; grey iron; gas absorption; nitrogen; oxygen; gas evolution rate; green sand; mould filling; gas volume; gas solubility;

    Abstract : Since gas porosity is a major casting problem, it is of greatest importance to increase the knowledge about the foundry process in order to minimise the presence of gas porosity and thereby improving the casting quality. Gas porosity is generally considered to originate from gases precipitated during solidification of iron and from entrained gas picked up by the metal during the mould filling. READ MORE
