Sandvik has inaugurated a research & development modeling centre under the Sandvik Materials Technology division at Dapodi in Pune, India. The area of focus would be computer modeling, both on alloy design from thermodynamic models and metallurgical processing such as rolling and extrusion using finite element method or finite element analysis. Modeling allows reduction of development time for alloys and metallurgical products such as tubes, sheets and wires by a process of simulation and optimization using hi tech computational systems.
