Abstract
The research program “Functionally graded materials” consists of three partners, namely Tecos, C3M and the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, Department of Materials and Metallurgy with Chairs for foundry, for metallurgical process technique and for materials forming. These partners form an interdisciplinary group with goal to initiate scientific and technological breakthrough on this field. The scope of work and interest includes experimental studies of elementary processes taking place in materials and the influence of various processing parameters on evolution of their microstructure that can be exploited for production of bulk functionally graded materials. Further field of interest include the development of computational models for numerical simulations at different spatial and length scales and their applications for studying elementary processes in materials and for their implementation in various technologies of materials productions, development and implementation of optimization methods, artificial inteligence, development and optimization of technologies for materials production and development of new experimental tests. The research program is focused on research and development of new knowledge-based bulk metallic and polymer based FGMs with tailored properties together with optimized technologies for their production exploiting the entire processing chain of their production, targeting a wide range of applications.  In addition to continuation of the research in the areas where the group was active in the past period, in the next period we will focus to (i) the development and research in the field of functionally graded materials for space applications, with emphasis on structural elements of the satellites, (ii) the development of experimental techniques for determining the constitutive response of functionally graded materials, which is essential for the numerical simulation of the response of these materials under various loadings, and to (iii) theoretical, numerical and experimental studies of damage evolution, i.e. nucleation and growth of cracks in these materials.
Significance for science
Added value materials with higher knowledge content, new functionalities and improved performance are becoming very important for industrial competitiveness and sustainable development. According to the new models of manufacturing industry, “materials are the key for today's technological advances and they represent the first step in increasing the value of products and their performance”. Thus the proposed research program is aimed to develop such new higher-knowledge materials with new functionalities and is directed toward the development of necessary technology for production of FGMs as well toward the study of the processes that takes place in the material that is subjected to the properties gradation processing. The results will thus contribute to a better understanding of mechanisms which control their gradation and to better understanding of the influence of various manufacturing parameters on the local development of microstructure, which is very important from a theoretical as well as from a practical point of view. Modeling of the evolution of microstructure during processing of FGMs will enable both the deeper understanding of synergetic influence of various processing parameters that influences the evolution of microstructure. We expect that the proposed research program will contribute to the body of knowledge in many technological areas such as structural components for space applications, materials forming, foundry, process engineering, steelmaking, manufacturing of polymers and plastics products. On the other hand, the proposed program is designed in such a way that will surely enable discoveries and deeper insights in the fields of metal and plastic materials, and in the fields of modeling, numerical simulations, thermodynamics, development of new tests and experimental methods, as well as the development of new metallic materials.
Significance for the country
Advanced knowledge based materials are gaining on importance and it is expected that in the future they will play very important role in the development of modern technologies in various sectors. In Slovenia there are many metal forming, foundry companies, and plastics producers that are suppliers of materials, parts and tools to various domestic and foreign industries. Due to very fast development many are challenged by new technological challenges and also many problems. Since they have to deal with their specific technologies, it is very important that fundamental understandings of the processes are combined with technological expertise. To fulfill their needs member of research program are active on many areas that are all very important for development of Slovenia: We offer Slovenian industry many research services: integrated product and devices development, construction of technological, conceptual design, optimization of product design, customized solutions for manufacturing processes and product development, development of new models for simulations of processes taking place in materials, simulations at different spatial and temporal scales, precision measurement and testing on our equipment, advanced computer-aided design, structural analysis, complex analysis by FEM, process analysis, simulations of casting (gravity, low and high pressure casting, sand casting, etc.), simulation of massive forming (forging, extrusion, rolling, etc.), rapid prototyping of accurate CAD models, digitization of large objects on the ground, the production of a detailed tools, even when there are no suitable CAD data, we are able to reproduce products with digitized data, precision optical 3D measurement, fast measurement control of complex shapes and free surfaces, rapid control of geometric tolerances, calibration of injection molding simulations, etc. Members of this research group are cooperating with foreign universities and research institutions and have participated and still participate in many European projects, including the FP7. Thus they have contacts with top foreign researchers and companies from materials science and metallurgy research field as well as from closely related fields and disseminate acquired knowledge to Slovenia. Members of program group are organizing specialist trainings and excursions for the industry, which is of great importance for the development of the profession and engineering practices. Members of this research group are involved in teaching process at Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, where they are responsible for 41 BSc courses, 8 MSc courses, and 4 PhD courses. Some members of programme group are also members and the leader of Centre of Excellence for Space Sciences and Technologies, Space-SI, where they are involved with emerging technologies of nano- and micro satellites, which is very important for development of Slovenia.
