We're please to welcome the latest addition to the Royce Family! FCT H-HP D25 (aka Hybrid FAST/SPS) was safely delivered to the proud team on 17th July and weighed a healthy 3.8 tons. Team and "Baby" are doing well, and after a short period getting to know each other (and being introduced to both older siblings), are looking forward to receiving visitors. On a more serious note; we are world leaders in utilising waste streams and recycling it into billets for rolling and forging. We support a range of industries, including vital UK forging businesses in the high value manufacturing supply chain, to invest and develop the FAST-forge technology for next generation, near-net shape components utilising powder/swarf waste streams for new products in sectors including defence, aerospace, electric vehicles, biomedical components and emerging hydrogen electrolyser technology. Professor Martin Jackson, University of Sheffield, said: “The key gaps restricting UK industry from developing new component designs through SPS/FAST – which is more economical than hot isostatic pressing – and downstream forging, is the heterogeneous thermal profiles in which conventional SPS/FAST and traditional gas furnaces can be unreliable, producing variations in product mechanical properties and performance. The new FCT H-HP D25 SPS/FAST machine and Induction Heating Unit will provide a step change in high-quality data generation for simulations to help develop a true digital thread from powder through to final net shape component.” Our team is highly experienced in the installation, operation and maintenance of conventional SPS/FAST technology; the new unit will be situated at our Royce Discovery Centre and supported by existing technical services and infrastructure.  If you'd like to arrange a visit or to find out more about how the Hybrid FAST/SPS and our team could accelerate your R&D drop us an email on royce@sheffield.ac.uk
