Description FutureForge has been established at the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) at the University of Strathclyde to provide a world class research facility to fast track innovative forging solutions to maintain and grow the UK’s international competitiveness. The facility and infrastructure has benefitted from ~£19m from the UK Aerospace Research and Technology Programme - delivered by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Innovate UK and the Aerospace Technology Institute - Scottish Enterprise and through the AFRC’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult support and will be fully commisioned by late 2020. FutureForge brings forging into the 21st century through the world's most advanced hot forging research platform. This combines a bespoke tri-modal industry 4.0 ready press, manipulator and heat treatment capabilities. FutureForge will enable the creation of truly predictive process and microstructural models covering a wide range of alloys and product requirements. In this project you will be tasked with developing a finite element model of the closed die forging process of titanium that can operate within the confines of Futureforge.
