"By the project schedule, the final verification of the advanced technology for producing cast iron castings of the KARDAN type was carried out. All assurance melts met the quality parameters set by the customers, where it is planned to apply the project's outputs. New findings obtained based on R&D activities during the project were evaluated. Based on them, the proposed advanced production technology was verified, in which the individual findings are interwoven and connected in a technologically logical context. It includes: 1. The implementation of the thermal analysis method and the use of CEL to ensure the required metal quality in the furnace and the ladle, which made it possible to achieve an optimized ratio of charging materials into the induction furnace; 2. Optimization of the process of inoculation and modification of the melt in the furnace and the ladle; 3. Implementation of optimized methods of numerical simulations in the process of casting, solidification and deformation behaviour; 4. Implement the 3D scanning method in model device shape and dimensional control and castings. After the implementation of the methods (3rd, 4th), the overall time needed in the MOTOR JIKOV Slévárna (Foundry) company processes from the design of the model to the introduction of the casting to the real production (approval of the samples by the customer) was reduced by approx. 30%, as well as the related costs for any necessary corrections of the models and repeated sampling."
