Purpose and goal
The idea of the project has been to connect the industrial need for development tools for new materials with the foremost academic competences in materials modelling in Sweden. The project thus connects the entire knowledge chain, from modelling at the forefront of materials research to hands-on application to industrial examples, in order to strengthen the foundation for industrial materials development
Expected results and effects
The project has developed models for homogenous and heterogeneous precipitation, used ab-initio (DFT) for modelling of grain boundaries and Calphad for sequential modelling and the transition between para-equilibrium and ortho-equilibrium. Application has involved five materials of industrial interest for which precipation plays a critical role for properites.
Planned approach and implementation
The project has been structured round four work packages on modelling and five application cases. Three workshops and two open seminars have been held, and the project has resulted in 10 detailed reports, one summary and educational material
