Ductile Ceramic-Metal Composites for Energy And Environmental Technologies

MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT * MODULE DEVELOPMENT AND SYSTEM DESIGN * MULTIFUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS * MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY

Contents:

Design and joining of multifunctional ductile Ceramic-Metal-Composites with defined nano-macro structural characteristics for energy and environmental technologies. Solutions can be found by utilizing a powder metallurgical approach with the help of metal fibre reinforcements, the utilization of reduction mechanisms, and the investigation of interface phenomena.

Objectives:

• The increase of fracture toughness (ductility) of the ceramics with metal reinforcements
• Cost-efficient manufacturing processes for sheet-like product geometries
