<Project Title: Modelling of microstructural evolution under work
conditions and in materials processing >
<Financial Scheme: >
<Description: Technical content/scope: Modelling of material
performance has nowadays become a very powerful tool, complementing
experimental research. The simulation of the microstructural evolution
of materials properties and phenomena that determine the macroscopic
material response under working conditions and during materials
synthesis and processing (e.g. in hot deformation, mixing, injection
moulding, filament processing, laser processing, near to shape
production) can enable the achievement of major improvements in
materials design and life cycle assessment. Modelling approaches are
expected to build on the link between microstructural evolution and
specific macroscopic material properties and take advantage of the new
multi-scale approaches. Essential reduction of costs and energy
consumption for new materials development and industrial processing is
expected. The experimental validation of the modelling approaches is
also expected to be part of the projects. >
<Organisation Type: Altro>
<Partner Sought: Profile of Company sought to join consortium
A European metals company of any size involved in solidification
processing (e.g. casting or welding), or provision of ingot for same,
which would benefit from the development of advanced alloys and
processes, to add more value and to gain new markets. The focus should
be on aluminium alloys although steels will also be considered as
candidate materials. Could be in the automotive, aerospace,
bioengineering, defence, or general engineering sector.
What is the role of the company in the project?
The company will be engaged in Research and Technological Development
and/or Demonstration/Early Stage Commercialisation, relating to new
highly accurate multi-scale computer models of multi-component alloy
solidification being developed within the project activities, e.g.
via: full scale through-process modelling; full scale experimental
validation; structure optimisation and scrap reduction; new
alloy/process evaluation
What will the company get out of the project?
Improved materials, processes and markets. Higher value added castings
and weldments free of defects such as hot tears, macrosegregation and
porosity. The ability to engineer microstructure into solidified
components. Optimum composition and microstructure for successful heat
treatment and high performance. A validated software tool to further
develop technical capabilities, including the skills to generate new
environmentally friendly products. Access to a high level of European
expertise in development and validation of computer models of alloy
solidification across the length scales of interest, up to and
including the macro-scale.
