Lipetsk student teams won two medals in the final of the CASE-IN championship"

The final of the CASE-IN championship was held in Moscow from May 31 to June 2. The Metallica and Modern Metals teams performed in the Metallurgy Student League.

The CASE-IN championship is one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities", part of the federal project "Social elevators for everyone" of the national project "Education". This year, the competition was included in the plan of the main events of the Year of Science and Technology.

Lipetsk State Technical University was represented by two teams, the winners of the qualifying stage and the semi-finals. In the final, the Polytechnic students developed a technology for the production of a new aluminum product. Vyacheslav Goncharov, Anastasia Konevzerova, Elena Shmakova and Ksenia Volkova from the Metallica team suggested improving electric motors. The technological solution was to replace the copper winding with a wire rod made of an aluminum-based alloy and to cast the rotor and starter parts from another aluminum-based alloy. While solving the case, the team analyzed RUSAL's products, possible markets for finished products and potential competitors, developed a technological map for the production of electric motors from aluminum raw materials and calculated the payback period of the proposed technology.

The decision of the Polytechnic students was highly appreciated by the jury members, the team took second place, losing only to rivals from the National Research Technological University MISIS.

The third place was taken by the polytechnic students from the Modern Metals team Mammadov Elmaddin, Burashnikov Dmitry, Sementsov Pavel, Yurov Vladislav.
