Grant: Extend Innovation Enhancement Grants

Extent to CTAV ''Centre de technologie des alliages avancés'' (2009-2014) will allow the continuity of research activities related to metal forming of advanced alloys including melting with plasma arc melting technique, alloying with high melting point elements and melting of nickel alloys. The main outcomes of the project will be a consolidation of the Cégep de Trois Rivières research team on advanced alloys, new expertise with plasma melting and metallurgy of high melting point elements. The participation of three Cégep teacher and students gives them access to a unique technology in Canada. Two of the initial partners of the first IE grant will develop with us advanced alloy recycling methods for the production of forging billets or remelting ingots. Two new partners are added to the initiative with interest respectively in the production of specialty metal powders/recycling and machining activities. Result and knowledge developed within the initiative will contribute to open new markets to our partner and bring new services to Canadian SME.
