Ended EU project

Initial Position: Computational models for materials allowing the prediction of respective materials properties did not keep pace with the rapid developments of the macroscopic FEM models. ICME as an emerging discipline will integrate computational materials science tools into a holistic system. ICMEg Project: Similar to the successful data standards developed and maintained by the “joint

Initial position: Weak position of Europe to address materials scarcity (dependent from China) Lack of coordination of national RTD efforts: stategy; funding programmes Materials research = addressing materials scarcity ERA-MIN Project: 14 organisations funding RTD on materials in Europe joined efforts to overcome the current fragmentation of minerals research Joint Research roadmap & related Joint

Initial Position: The industry was lacking undertsanding of how mechanical forming affects different finishing treatments The interaction between forming and finishing was not captured by available material models PressPerfect Project: Create a methodology to predict the performance of stainless steel after forming and finishing. Three different routes: 1) martensitic strainless steel & heat treatment; 2)
