Dynamic Systems for Materials Research - Delft Registration Confirmation

European Gleeble Users Group Meeting

Thank you.
Your registration has been recorded.

The European Gleeble Users Group meeting has been scheduled for April 24th – 25th, 2012 at Delft University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands.

The two day event will consist of presentations of recent work conducted using the Gleeble as well as hands on demonstrations using Gleeble systems at the University.

Please join us and other Gleeble users in Delft for a valuable learning and networking experience. The meeting will include the opportunity for Gleeble users to interact with each other and Applications Engineers from Dynamic Systems Inc. to discuss a variety of Gleeble related topics.

Get the most out of your Gleeble machines by upgrading your team’s knowledge and understanding of the complex systems that make up a Gleeble.

This workshop will focus on the use of Gleeble 3500 and 3800 systems, software updates such as QuickSim2 and is heavily oriented on the techniques and methods used on the various applications.

Sessions will include presentations of recent work, demonstrations and discussions of system upgrades.

Meeting Details:

Date: Tuesday April 24th – Wednesday April 25th - 2012
Location: TU Delft, Netherlands
Description: 2 days of presentations and instruction with hands on interaction with Gleeble systems
Cost: €250/attendee
Lodging: Discounted room rates available at several local Delft hotels
Registration Deadline: March 15th, 2012

Flexibility is the key to our extensive use of the Gleeble. It helps us to get maximum productivity out of the work we do

Dr. Warren Poole

University of British Columbia

"We had to generate all the parameters and then to validate the predictions that the computer model made… The Gleeble played a central role in that project. We did austenite grain growth studies, double-hit compression tests to study recrystallization, and continuous cooling transformations, with and without compression."

Dr. Leijun Li

Utah State University

On the Gleeble we can not only control all the mechanical properties, but we’re in command of the thermal properties and the atmosphere. With the Gleeble, we can do complicated applications, watch what is happening, see the effect of temperature, and know how much energy is going in. It would take a lot more time and money to do it with equipment other than the Gleeble.

Nippon Steel (retired)

“In my opinion, Dynamic Systems is the top company in this kind of test equipment… worldwide.”

Damien Fabrègue

The Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (National Institute of Applied Science) de Lyon, Villeurbanne, France

this is the only piece of equipment that I can do everything with. I can always do what I want. It may take some time to optimize the work, but in the end, you can always run the experiment or do the simulation that you wanted to do.

Dr. John Bowker

Former Senior Research Scientist CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory (CANMET-MTL)

"The Gleeble is one of the most heavily used machines at our lab... We have used and continue to use it for a broad range of thermo-mechanical simulation procedures. These include: welding applied to shipbuilding, marine materials, offshore structures and pipelines; compression testing to characterize the flow stress behavior of steels and aluminum alloys: and in situ melting and solidification to understand the effects of residuals on hot ductility."

Dr. Brian Damkroger

Los Alamos National Laboratory

"Only the Gleeble is fast enough to allow us to physically simulate the thermal profile of electron beam welding”

Chihiro Kasamatsu

Material Evaluation Department Aichi Steel Corporation

“…we are concentrating on testing with the Gleeble to reduce costs in our forging production processes…”

Dr. Hans Peter Schmitz

ThyssenKrupp Stahl

“ In our labs, we do physical simulation… We try to reproduce as precisely as possible what is going on in the actual production lines. If you do it very carefully, you can transfer the result into the production lines, and you can use the results for building up numerical models."

Dr. Luis A. Colembergue Klujszo

Gerdau Aços Especiais Piratini

Through the capability of simulating large scale, expensive processes in a small scale, laboratory environment, the Gleeble has made it easier for Gerdau to improve products and processes. Furthermore, all the controls available in the equipment bring a whole lot of reliability to the results, making the conclusions very sound.

Tom Schambron, Product Development Metallurgist

Bluescope Steel

…world research and innovation are cornerstones of our business - the Gleeble is key to meeting the objectives of BlueScope. It assists in product development and improvement—such as trialling new steel grades, processing parameters, and so forth—and in tracking and solving of quality issues.

Dr. Mahesh Chaturvedi, Ph.D., FASM

University of Manitoba, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

“We want to understand what the fundamental causes for thermo-mechanical fatigue are, so we use the Gleeble to apply load and temperature, sometimes in sync and sometimes out of sync. The Gleeble can keep going for days, executing the same program again and again... it gives us excellent reproducibility.”

Dr. Arnold Marder

Energy Research Center, Lehigh University

“What we are aiming at is intelligent processing. That’s where the Gleeble gives us a tremendous advantage. By allowing us to carefully simulate and model thermal and mechanical processes…”
