Digitisation of material development along the value chains

In DiMaWert, a methodology is to be established which will radically reduce the development times for new types of thermal processes. In addition to thermal processes, DiMaWert also aims at material and component development, which is also to be accelerated considerably with ICME and AI methods.

Future Directions for Process Industry Optimization


In FUDIPO, a software toolbox for monitoring and optimised process control in industrial plants will be developed. Sensor systems are to be further developed and the potential for other sectors, such as the ceramics industry, is to be demonstrated.

Dense oxide ceramic CMC components for micro gas turbine applications

In DoMiGat an O-CMC is to be developed which can be used at significantly higher temperatures up to approx. 1250 °C. A stator for micro gas turbines as a demonstrator component is to be developed from this novel material.

Development of a basalt fibre reinforced mixed oxide ceramic
using the example of a hand pouring crucible

The aim of BaMOX is to develop a ceramic fibre composite material (CMC) which meets the requirements of the casting process and is more cost-effective to produce than the alternative materials used so far.
