Objective
It is proposed to contribute to a strengthening of the competitiveness of metallic materials for the benefit of European industries by the formation of a European Network of Excellence CMA developing within four years into a European Integrated Centre for the Development of New Metallic Alloys and Compounds (IDEA). This Centre will unite an appropriate number of specialised laboratories to form an integrated body dedicated to the intelligent search for new metallic materials and their development towards technological applicability. Collaborating on a first challenging topic, Complex Metallic Alloys, these laboratories are going to build up IDEA, put it into practice and demonstrate that it is capable to embark upon the research and development of materials that could not be dealt with before. CMA will unite 20 high-reputation core-group members (representing a person-year critical mass of 252p.y and 84 PhD students in 12 countries).
Accessible due to very recent progress in materials science, Complex Metallic Alloys offer great potential for innovation. Examples of this potential are heat insulation at low temperature (using e.g.AI-Cu-Fe compounds (sic)), hydrogen storage, thermoelectricity, enhanced catalytic efficiency at lower cost, reduced friction, optimised composites, nanostructuration of metallic agregates or thin films, development of innovative coating processes adapted to complex surface shapes, etc. On this basis, the project is designed to strengthen the competitiveness of European industries wherever materials need to offer hybrid properties, being both structural and functional, or embody an extraordinary combination of properties that are mutually excluding in conventional materials.
Innovative management procedures for knowledge handling and networking, grant administration,
organisation of conferences, access to platforms and durable integration of women will be taken, together with an ambitious programme of summer schools.
