en.Wedoany.com Reported - From June 9 to 11, 2026, the Shenyang Research Institute of Foundry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shenyang Foundry Institute"), the supporting unit of the China Key Laboratory of Advanced Equipment Casting Technology, successfully held a series of international cooperation and exchange activities with the AGH University of Krakow in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. On June 10, the two parties formally signed a cooperation agreement at the 2026 Liaoning International Sister Cities Conference, jointly advancing the project "Intelligent Characterization and Performance Prediction Methods for Full-Section Defects in High-End Castings," focusing on core technical directions such as high-energy computed tomography (CT) inspection, intelligent defect recognition, and defect-performance relationship modeling, empowering casting quality inspection with artificial intelligence.
Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, the Shenyang Research Institute of Foundry Co., Ltd. is a research institution under the China Academy of Machinery Science and Technology Group, specializing in the R&D of casting materials, processes, equipment, and inspection technologies. It hosts the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Equipment Casting Technology. The company has deep technical expertise in the inspection of high-end castings such as aero-engine casings and blades. The AGH University of Krakow, established in 1919 and located in Krakow, is a top-tier technical university in Poland, renowned internationally in materials science, artificial intelligence, and data modeling. Professor Dorota Wilk-Kołodziejczyk, who visited this time, is a well-known expert in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in materials engineering.
Under the cooperation agreement, the Shenyang Foundry Institute will provide casting application scenarios and experimental data support, while Professor Dorota's team will leverage its expertise in algorithm development and modeling analysis to jointly advance iterative innovation in full-section inspection and performance evaluation technologies for high-end castings. Preliminary research results from both sides have already been applied in quality inspection of important castings such as aero-engine casings and blades. On the afternoon of June 10, Professor Dorota visited the Shenyang Foundry Institute's exhibition hall, digital radiography inspection laboratory, and titanium alloy precision casting workshop, and held in-depth discussions with the company's Party Committee Secretary and Chairman, Xie Huasheng. On the morning of June 11, Professor Dorota was invited to deliver a special report titled "Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Casting Production Decision-Making," introducing research achievements such as building predictive models based on numerical data to optimize process parameters, achieving automated identification of microstructural phases using microstructure images, and revealing internal defect characteristics of castings through 3D image analysis.
The successful hosting of this exchange event expanded the Shenyang Foundry Institute's international scientific and technological cooperation in the field of high-end casting inspection, laying a foundation for enhancing China's technical level in high-end casting inspection and evaluation and promoting the initiation of relevant international standards. Both parties expressed their commitment to continuing joint efforts in full-section inspection and quality evaluation of high-end castings, contributing to the high-quality development of the casting industry.
