Integration of a property simulation tool for virtual design and manufacturing of forged disks for aero engine applications (PROSIT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2019,

In order to overcome current shortcomings of the state-of-the-art simulation chain, this project will make improvements on microstructural modelling (integration of non-uniform microstructures), billet modelling (evaluation of billet inhomogeneity introduced during feedstock processing) and modelling of materials properties (yield strength variations in circumferential direction, influence of non- ...

High-Precision micro-forming of complex 3D parts (HIPR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Today, Europe’s leading position in manufacturing of formed, high-precision 3D metal parts is being threatened by developed non-EU countries that catch up quickly on product quality at low cost. If no further action is taken, loss of jobs and GDP are at risk. To face global competition, a breakthrough is needed in tackling the following four challenges: - Continuous product trend for higher qualit ...

Enhanced reliability and lifetime of ceramic components through multiscale modelling of degradation and damage (RoLiCer)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Engineering ceramics possess superior mechanical and physical properties. The exceptional wear, corrosion and contact fatigue resistance of silicon nitride and SiAlON ceramics makes them attractive materials for high temperature metalforming tools and rolling elements for bearings. Despite the efforts devoted to study this class of materials, there still exists a gap between their microstructural ...

Development of an advanced design and production process of High Temperature Ni-based Alloy Forgings (HiTNiFo)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

The strong need for higher efficiency, reduced CO2, NOX emissions, weight and noise reduction in aircraft engines leads to a demand of innovative materials with optimized mechanical and physical properties. The special design of new generation geared turbofan aircraft engines with their faster rotating LPT leads to higher temperatures in the turbine, casing and engine mount and thus requires parts ...

Quick process and tool design for advanced multi-axis milling of hard-to-machine materials (QuickPro)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

European SMEs from the manufacturing sector are facing increasing competition, since manufacturing is migrating to low-cost countries even for manufacturing of high value parts in aeronautical or the mold making industry. To remain competitive SMEs must conceive radical new production solutions. Mostly new innovative products come along with the introduction of advanced materials like super alloys ...
