This contracting opportunity is categorised under the goods sector and is currently in the planning stage, with a planned future notice date set for 12th May 2020. The material demands stringent specifications, including capacity to withstand high temperatures up to 1200°C and loads of 2000 tons. Interested suppliers should note that further information can be acquired through the provided contact point, Kirstie Peffers, at kirstie.peffers@strath.ac.uk. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the high-temperature materials sector, particularly those specialising in advanced materials suitable for specific manufacturing processes. Companies with expertise in providing materials that meet precise technical specifications, including vacuum arc re-melting and ultrasonic testing for quality assurance, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this contract could lead to beneficial partnerships within the education and research sectors, thus supporting business growth and innovation. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to a requirement for the supply and delivery of IN100 material to the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC). The Supplier must provide a high temperature material for the manufacture of an isothermal die stack capable of operating within an isothermal forging vacuum chamber at a temperature of 12000C and loads of up to 2000 tons. The material required is IN100, which needs to take temperature up to 500 0C. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The material required by the University of Strathclyde is IN100. This material must be able to take temperatures up to 500 0C. The required material size is: 2 of D420mm (approximate) x 170mm, which will allow the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) to machine the parts to D400mm x 150mm. The material must be in the cast and homogenisation condition. The casting and homogenisation process must be conducted under vacuum condition. Vacuum Arc Re-melting (VAR) will be considered. The grain number must be 0-6 as per ASTM E112. The final material must be inspected with Ultrasonic testing. There must be no presence of cracks and surface defects.
