Advanced modelling and characterization for power semiconductor materials and technologies (AddMorePower)
The development and integration of new materials for microelectronic semiconductor technologies was always crucially dependent on physical characterization techniques and predictive modelling. With the rapid and massive spread of power electronics, which enables both the digitalization and the electrification of our society on the one hand, and the generation and conversion of electrical energy needed for this transition on the other hand, completely new requirements arise for the conception and integration of semiconductor and interconnect materials. AddMorePower will provide the necessary characterization and modelling techniques that meet the particular needs of upcoming power semiconductor technology generations, which shall integrate and develop mono- and polycrystalline materials to an unprecedented extent. IPM activities will be devoted to the development of a physics-based modelling approach including anisotropic elasticity, plasticity, void formation and coalescence, and impurity and vacancy formation. The ambitious aim is to couple all effects and their interaction and implement them in a ready-to use simulation tool and provide the required material parameters to simulate the behaviour of the cooper layer during thermal loading.

Tailoring ODS materials processing routes for additive manufacturing of high temperature devices for aggressive environments (topAM)
Europe’s industry is facing many challenges such as global competition and the big change towards energy and resource efficiency. topAM can contribute to these demands by development and application of novel processing routes for new oxide-dispersoid strengthened (ODS) alloys on FeCrAl, Ni and NiCu basis. Novel ODS materials offer a clear advantage for the process industry by manufacturing e.g. topology-optimized, sensor-integrated high temperature devices (gas burner heads, heat exchangers) that are exposed to aggressive environments. Alloy and process development will be targeted by an advanced integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) approach combining computational thermodynamics, microstructure and process simulation to contribute to save time, raw materials and increase the component’s lifetime. Physical alloy production will be realized by combining nanotechnologies to aggregate ODS composites with laser-powder bed fusion and post-processing. The ICME approach will be complemented by comprehensive materials characterization and intensive testing of components under industrially relevant in-service conditions. This strategy allows to gain a deeper understanding of the processmicrostructure- properties relationships and to quantify the improved functionalities, properties and life cycle assessment. This will promote cost reduction, improved energy efficiency and superior properties combined with a significant lifetime increase. The consortium consists of users, materials suppliers and research institutes that are world leading in the fields relevant for this proposal, which guarantees efficient, high-level, application-oriented execution of topAM. The industrial project partners, in particular the SMEs, will achieve higher competitiveness due to their strategic position in the value chain of materials processing, e.g. powder production, to strengthen Europe's leading position in the emerging technology field of AM in a unique combination with ICME.

Vlastnosti nanoprášků připravených pulzním elektronovým svazkem při nízkém tlaku plynu
The proposed project is focused on basic research with an impact on urgent biomedical applications. The development of new pharmaceutical products based on nanoparticles is a hot topic of current nanomaterial research. This effort is based on recent findings of serious toxicity of some agents currently used, and directed towards finding safer and more effective medical treatment using metal oxide nanoparticles, namely CeO2 for radiation oncology, Gd2O3 and MnO as contrast agents, ZnO and TiO2 as antitumor agents, Al2O3 and AgO as antibacterial agents, and Fe3O4/γFe2O3 for the hyperthermia treatment of cancer. The nanometric size and shape of nanoparticles are primarily responsible for their unique features; however, a surface quality (vacancies, defects) is equally important for the required properties. We suggest performing a fundamental experimental and theoretical study of the selected metal oxide nanopowders prepared using a unique physical method allowing for optimized nanopowder synthesis and modification of the surface for higher reactivity and increased biological activity.

Structural Integrity and Reliability of Advanced Materials obtained through additive Manufacturing
In spite of the growing importance of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology for producing both plastics and metals parts used in different fields such as aeronautics, biomechanics and automotive, the criteria and methods for the safety evaluation of AM components are still not well established. Therefore, the lack of knowledge on the influence of the material quality on the load bearing capacity of the final product hinders the industrial exploitation of AM, preventing this powerful technology from being confidently used in every-day manufacturing processes, in particular in low developed European countries. The overall objective of the SIRAMM project is to significantly strengthen research in the AM field at the Polytechnical University of Timisoara (UPT, Romania). To achieve this aim, SIRAMM will build upon the existing science and innovation base of UPT, creating a network with two internationally-leading counterparts at EU level: Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway) and the University of Parma (Italy). In the long term, the project aims at laying the foundations for creating a pole of excellence on AM in Eastern Europe. For this reason, other two partners from low R&I performing countries, the University of Belgrade (Serbia) and the Institute of Physics of Materials, Academy of Sciences (Czech Republic) will also take part in this Twinning project. To reach its goals, this 3-year project will be focused on the implementation of knowledge transfer activities such as workshops and staff exchange, training events (i.e. summer schools, seminars) for early stage researchers, and dissemination and communication actions (i.e. web site, videos, open access publications, public engagement activities) for different audiences. To keep maintaining the knowledge transfer well beyond the duration of this project, a regular master course on AM technology will be also implemented in the coordinating institution.

Innovative approach to improve fatigue performance of automotive components aiming at CO2 emissions reduction (INNOFAT)
Cars are responsible of 25% of CO2 emissions in the EU. To reduce these emissions, EU established a mandatory target, to be reached in 2020, of 95 g CO2/km (30% lower than the average CO2 emissions in 2012). Vehicle lightweight is the main alternative to reduce CO2 emissions. Crankshaft is the heaviest special steel component in a vehicle. So, its weight reduction potential is high. The crankshaft downsizing must be performed taking into account that engine torque cannot be reduced. So, if crankshaft is downsized, the steel fatigue limit must be increased to guarantee the required crankshaft in-service performance. This INNOFAT project is focused on crankshafts manufactured with microalloyed steels, but the obtained results may be extrapolated to other automotive components (camshafts, gears, common-rails...). Two different approaches are considered to improve the component fatigue performance: 1) steels with improved isotropy and 2) steels with higher strength. In the first case, different isotropy levels will be evaluated to determine which of them leads to the best fatigue performance. The second approach is based on a new high strength microalloyed steel (UTS>1.050 MPa) up to now only manufactured at laboratory scale. Along the INNOFAT project, the crankshafts manufacturing process (from hot forging to different machining operations) will be studied at laboratory scale. Finally, the most suitable steel from each approach will be chosen to manufacture and test real crankshafts in order to estimate the weight reduction that could be achieved. At the end of the project, some guidelines will be elaborated in order to facilitate the industrial implementation of the developed steels.

Inverse process chain modeling for Al-castings and induction heat treated steel rods
By Through-Process-Modeling and inverse optimization of two process chains (i) ‘casting-solution annealing-quenching-aging’ and (ii) ‘straightening-inductive austenitizing-quenching-inductive tempering-air cooling’ the understanding for the involved processes will be extended. Especially (i) a local properties optimization approach due to local heat treatment for castings will be developed and (ii) the induction heat treatment process will be analyzed in detail, a test bench will be built and physically based process models will be developed and implemented in MatCalc as well as in an MCL-owned software package.
The knowledge based conversion of one heat treatment route into another (e.g. furnace to induction) via property forecasting and the knowledge of an optimal parameter field for reaching desired target values represents a technological novelty and is an essential part of the process control by inverse process chain simulation to be developed in this project.

Development of new-generation ODS alloys and ODS composites
The project deals with the development of new ODS alloys and ODS composites with the Fe-8-10wt%Al matrix. The alloys are prepared by mechanical alloying of Fe and Al powders in an oxidizing atmosphere, the composites by mechanical alloying of Fe, Al and Fe2O3 powders in an inert atmosphere. Then the mechanically alloyed powders are closed in the steel tube and consolidated by hot rolling. The stable microstructure is obtained by thermal or thermo-mechanical treatment. The resultant alloy or composite exhibit excellent oxidation- and creep-resistance at very high temperatures. The patent application was submitted recently.

Z-phase strengthened steels for ultra-supercritical power plants
Chromium steels strengthened by carbides and vanadium nitrides are used for construction of boilers in coal power plants. Any increase of the operation temperature leads to the increase of efficiency of the power plant and thus to the increase of the protection of environment and climate. The project pursuits a new idea to replace the vanadium nitrides by finely dispersed Z-phase, which is more stable, and this enables increasing of the operation temperature of the boiler. Our team deals with the development of thermodynamic models for nucleation, growth and coarsening of precipitates, for creep, and also creep is tested experimentally in welded and non-welded specimens of the developed material.

RoLiCer - Enhanced reliability and lifetime of ceramic components through multi-scale modelling of degradation and damage
Engineering ceramics possess superior mechanical and physical properties. The exceptional wear, corrosion and contact fatigue resistance of silicon nitride (Si3N4) and SiAlON ceramics makes them attractive materials for high temperature metal forming tools and rolling elements for bearings. Despite the efforts devoted to study this class of materials, there still exists a gap between their micro-structural properties and their potential application limits. Developing multi-scale predictive models that deliver information on materials degradation mechanisms, based on realistic working conditions, will enable the systematic tailoring of ceramic materials for new applications, supported by validated evaluation techniques including tribology, damage analysis, and lifetime predictions.
The optimisation of the microstructure is clearly application-dependent and should rely on co-related material development efforts and multi-scale simulations. The bridging between the micro-structural properties and macro-scale behaviour should merge the knowledge acquired from the atomistic, micro-scale, meso-scale and macro-scale levels. Nonetheless, the chain of information would not be complete without including means of validation that rely on experimental techniques and functionality tests in real applications.

The impact of atomic trapping on diffusion and phase transformation kinetics
The project deals with the influence of the atomic traps on kinetics of diffusion of interstitial components and consequences to kinetics of diffusional phase transformations. Carbon is an important interstitial component in steels and interacts with foreign atoms like chromium, to which it can be bond significantly. A number of models describing the energetics of trapping by foreign atom have been developed and the consequences of trapping on diffusion kinetics have been demonstrated. Based on the knowledge of chemical potentials of carbon obtained by CALPHAD method the models have been utilized for determination of the depth of trap for carbon due to foreign atoms of different components. A very good agreement with the open literature has been obtained.

Service security of welded high-strength pressurized pipelines
The project deals with the influence of the hydrogen on strength of new steels for production of pipelines. Our team deals with development of models for hydrogen diffusion. It was shown during the project solution that hydrogen diffusion cannot be described by a simple diffusion equation with a constant diffusion coefficient. The dislocation cores and/or foreign atoms represent traps for hydrogen atoms, causing immobilization of the hydrogen and drastically influencing its diffusion. The hydrogen concentration dependent chemical diffusion coefficient can be introduced for a proper description of diffusion of hydrogen. The developed model allows not only a better description of hydrogen diffusion in steels, it allows also a more correct evaluation of measurements of hydrogen diffusion coefficients by standard methods.

Mesoscopic framework for modeling physical processes in multiphase materials with defects
Mesoscopic description of physical processes in structural materials is one of the most challenging aspects of understanding their behavior as it is the regime where atomic length scales merge with those of the continuum. It is the least understood regime compared to the atomic and continuum scales because the simplifications and advantages of theory in handling small/large length scales and fast/slow time scales no longer apply. One of the most challenging problems that has not been solved to date is how correlated defect domains affect the microstructure on the mesoscale and thus also the physical properties of materials. This problem will be solved by combining the classical Landau theory of phase transitions with the seminal 1958 work of Kröner in which dislocations are viewed as sources of incompatibility of elastic strains. The coupling of the microstructure with the incompatibility of strains will give rise to a new framework for the study of such mesoscale phenomena. In this formalism point defects will reduce to a simpler case as their fields are irrotational and thus do not contribute to the incompatibility of strains. The mesoscopic framework that will be developed in this project will contribute significantly to bridging of the so-called micron gap in the description of physical processes in crystalline materials. The role of defects, interfaces and microstructure is at the heart of understanding materials from nanometers to microns and the unique approach proposed here will address this issue. Implementing this theory will yield a mesoscopic computational tool for solving the inverse problem - designing novel materials with prescribed properties, such as resistance to fatigue and radiation damage.

HISOLD - Advanced Solder Materials for High Temperature Application
Investigator RNDr. Aleš Kroupa, CSc. is the Chair of Management Committee of the whole project.
The focus of the COST Action is the investigation of Pb-free replacements for high-Pb solders for high-temperature applications. This comprises a study of the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of alloys containing a large number of permutations of different alloying elements. A multiscale approach is used:
meso-scale: The application of thermodynamics and kinetics to the study of alloying behaviour; the development of materials property databases.
macro-scale: The creation of a phenomenological description of corrosion and deformation processes occurring in a solder joint during fabrication and service,
micro- (nano-) scale: The investigation by experiment and modelling of the initial stage of the formation of intermetallic phases at the solder/substrate interface.
This is efficiently achieved through coordinated international cooperation providing a basis for interdisciplinary research. The action increases the basic understanding of alloys that can be used as Pb-free alternatives to high-temperature solders for practical applications, for example in the aerospace and automotive industries.

Predictive Methods for Combined Cycle Fatigue in Gas Turbine Blades (PREMECCY)
The project PREMECCY is a part of the Sixth Framework Programme of EU. The consortium of the project consists of 15 partners from 7 EU countries. The coordinator of the project is Rolls-Royce UK.
The modern gas turbine is a complex machine, the design and development of which takes many months and costs millions. The European gas turbine industry is under pressure to minimise the resources required to bring a new design to market, due to global competitive pressure and increasing customer expectations. Accurate design and prediction tools are key to succes in this process. The PREMECCY project identifies the field of rotor blade Combined Cycle Fatigue as an area where there are shortcomings in the existing industry standard design and prediction tools and thus where significant benefits can be achieved.

The aim of the project is the research of the development of the precipitate structure in complex systems (e.g. high speed steel) by means of experimental methods as well as simulations. Experimental studies are based on microstructure observations by means of atom probe and TEM and on global methods like dilatometric measurements. Theoretical studies are based on models developed by means of application of the Onsager's thermodynamic extremal principle. For many systems an excellent agreement between the simulations and experinemts has been achived.

Research and development of precision casting technology for new type of aircraft engine castings and axial turbocharger wheels
The proposed project is focused on the development and subsequent implementation of advanced precision casting technology of cast wheels for new aircraft engines and axial turbocharger wheels. These engines are currently under development in PBS Velká Bíteš, a.s., and higher engine efficiency as well as significantly higher durability of key components is required. These design requirements lead to the need for the introduction of improved temperature-resistant materials and also place great emphasis on the mechanical properties of these materials, especially interaction of the fatigue and creep. In the production of the ceramic shell moulds in most new types of castings water based binding agent will be applied in comparison to the binding agent currently used, which is mainly alcohol based. This will reduce the amount of alcohol vapors released to the atmosphere and thus significantly improve the environmental situation.
