CMCVent
Duration 2025 - 2028
Hot gas fan made of oxide CMC for CO2 reduction in thermal processes in the ceramics industry
The CMCVent project is developing innovative hot gas fans made of fiber-reinforced oxide ceramic matrix composites for batch and continuous furnaces.
Foundry aids made of fiber-reinforced oxide ceramics for the aluminum foundry
Round-needled ceramic preforms offer innovative solutions for use in foundry technology in the procet Gießela.
SinSim3D
Duration 2024 - 2027
Simulation-based optimization of the thermal post-treatment of additively manufactured green bodies
The aim of the SinSim3D project is to develop a digital tool for the automated design of thermal processing for additively manufactured ceramic components.
The aim of EnerGraph is to significantly improve the energy efficiency of graphitization processes using a combined approach of experimental characterization at very high temperatures and process simulations based on this.
Full-scale Demonstration of Replicable Technologies for Hydrogen Combustion in Hard to Abate Industries - The Aluminium use-case
In H2AL, a retrofit of existing natural gas-fired plants is investigated for the recycling of aluminum ingots and internal scrap for the use of up to 100 % H2 combustion and its effects on the refractory materials.
