Composites based on compositionally complex alloys for transportation industry - COM℗TRANS
Project summary
The goal of the project is the development of new metal matrix composites based on light weight compositionally complex alloys (CCA) and ceramic particle reinforcement for brake systems in transportation industry. The new matrix alloy will provide increased strength and higher temperature operation for the developed composite material. The technology based on the new composites will provide solutions for the replacement of conventional methods by addressing main issues: maximize the operation efficiency, lower the fabrication costs and lower the polluting emissions. The newly developed materials will present high strength and stiffness to weight-ratio and will be easily recyclable. The project will cover TRL 3 and TRL 4 activities and will end with a validated laboratory technology.Project Details
