Integrator Project 2! The beginning of a new journey.

Good night visitors!

      The SOLARIUM engineering team has a major challenge ahead, which is the IP (Integration Project) proposed by the Faculty of Technology and Innovation SENAI CIMATEC. These projects take place in the graduation of Mechanical Engineering. This time, the disciplines involved are:  Machines Elements (Lecturer: Mauricio Camargo de Oliveira), Foundry Processes (Lecturer: Fábio André Lora) and Technical English (Teacher: margareti Hitomi Nacamura Menezes). We also have the Mechanical Engineering course coordinator (Guilherme Souza).

      The SOLARIUM engineering fictitious metal industry whose main competency is the machining using EDM processes, and whose directorship is uncomfortable with their current allocation options for the large amount of brass wire used for its machines of EDM wire. His reel suppliers of new brass wire are not offering favorable terms for the collection of the material and the brass wire is being discarded as scrap or through junkyards and this does not guarantee an adequate recycling. In this scenario, the company's management decided to study alternative products for domestic consumption that could be made with this material, among them, brass rivets are an alternative. For this, the Projects department, where we work, was asked to develop seals using molten rivets made of recycled brass, that can be  able to resist a request of 20 kN.

          We will post weekly  informing our procedures and advances and a special section dedicated to the glossary concerning the technical terms used.
