Project duration: 15 March 2016 – 31 December 2018
Substitution/reduction/optimization in the use of CRMs in components and coatings under challenging conditions of temperature, wear, friction, loading, corrosion, etc.
Objective
Development of new shared actions (e.g. new research projects), support to Education activities, and providing services to enterprises, industries and research institutions in the interested sectors (manufacturing, machining, transport, construction, energy, etc.)
The solution (technology)
Advanced equipment and high-level expertise of partners, able to provide support on: design and modeling of materials and products, development of materials (bulk and coatings) and related process optimization, characterisation and functional testing, recovery and recycling of materials, LCA.
