Mathematics can be tough

voestalpine Grobblech is one of the world’s leading producers of heavy plates that find their applications in extreme conditions. Tough, HIC- and wear resistant as well as roll bonded clad plates are the focus of their product mix. To control the thermomechanical conditions during the production in an appropriate way, is one of the key features to produce plates with extreme toughness properties. MathConsult has been working on some of the mathematical problems arising in this context.

voestalpine Grobblech has produced a video clip for their trademark toughcore®, that is – in my opinion – a really cool one.

The video clip is found in the lower left Corner “The Movie” and requires a working Adobe Flash Player.)
