3D C/SiC

3D Pre-Form Reinforced Ceramic Composite Material

Coordinator: Fureho AB (Sweden)
Partner: ECM Engineered Ceramic Materials GmbH (Germany)
Material: Light Metal Alloys
Challange: 7

Partners jointly propose developing an innovative lightweight composite material comprising a 3D pre-form reinforcement of Pitch carbon fibres and silicon carbide ceramic matrix material, henceforth called 3D C/SiC. It will be uniquely advantageous as it will have high delamination resistance and damage tolerance due to through-thickness direction fibres while being heat conducting, vibration damping, and up to ~30% lighter than conventional materials. A variety of optimised, robust, and precise components can be made near-net shape or machined directly from a block or plate of 3D C/SiC
relatively quickly, easily, and cost-effectively for small satellites, drones etc. 3D C/SiC will also benefit as
a non-metallic heat conductor for space electronics applications. Shared gains for project constellation include the development of a novel material for the identified market case.

CMC Fan

Lightweight CMC High-Temperature Fan for Aerospace Applications

Coordinator: Walter E.C. Pritzkow Spezialkerami (Germany)
Partner: NABLAWAVE SRL (Italy)
Material: Ceramic Matrix Composites
Challange: 8
For the innovative Inflatable Atmospheric Decelerator (IAD) developed and patented by Klaus Space Transportation the key component is a high temperature fan. This fan needs to work in oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures of more than 800°C and a rotation speed of up to 12.000 rpm. For aerospace applications it need do be lightweight. Therefore, in this project an Ox/Ox CMC fan will be developed that has one third of the weight of a fan made of metallic alloys, and which can operate at those high temperatures. In the feasibility study a preliminary aerodynamic design and a CMC fan design will be done.

Our system is an optical layout that uses the shadow generated by the fibers to analyze its distribution over the width of the tape. The spread fibers are guided between a lighting system and a camera system so that the shading from the fibers generates a gray scale. The with is separated into several sectors and a gray value analysis is made. We obtain a gray distribution that shows the shading of the fiber over the width of the tape.

The developed design must be compliant with all relevant airworthiness regulations (CS-VLR, CS-27, CS-29) whilst keeping all practical aspects in consideration such as feasibility from manufacturing aspect, affordable cost, damage tolerant structure etc. The main target is to exploit the state-of-the-art continuous fiber reinforced plastics as base material of the load bearing structure, that is expected to partly or fully replace the use of conventional aluminum. It can lead to further significant weight saving. In addition, the lamination based manufacturing technique allows generating more aerodynamically preferable airfoil-like cross sections leading to drag reduction of the structure.

Using industry residues as insulation materials (such as wood or tyres) is emerging as a promising approach in combination with conventional materials, creating new kinds of composite materials to use in building envelope applications. These kinds of composite can improve the energy efficiency of the building and they are an alternative to fulfilling the sustainable strategy in Europe. This project consists of upscaling our previous technology developed in Mortars for External Thermal Insulation Building Systems. For this challenge, End LifeTyres (ELT) residues will be used to ensure lightweight characteristics in combination with auto-healing materials which will provide the hermiticity of the building envelope and common material used in mortars. The project will be carried out by a consortium formed by GATIM S.R.L (Italy), CHEMICAL BUILDING PROJECT S.L. (Spain) and TESELA, Materials Innovation and Heritage S.L. (Spain).

During a hard period regarding energy consumption, TEG Comp project is targeting to enable thermo-electric devices in the service of community. A combination of thermo-electric materials with light-weight carbon fiber structures would provide the ability to regenerate electric power through “hot-spots” in many applications. TEG Comp devices are light-weight and they could be fixed in thermal piping networks, high temperature assemblies and many other assemblies, in order to regenerate low voltages through thermal losses of such “hot-spots”, without compromising size of the machine.

PACK-ALL-BLACK

Prepreg carbon composite solution using immersion cooling for lightweight and high-performance pack

Coordinator: CANOE (France)
Partner:E-MERSIV (France)
Material:Polymer-based composites
Challange:17

The PACK-ALL-BLACK battery pack product is based onto a single housing design for small and medium series (more cost-effective, more flexible, and faster to implement). There are some existing competing solutions but none of them can provide a prepreg carbon-fiber composite solution for lightweight and high-performance battery pack. From a commercial strategy point of view, PACK-ALL-BLACK is a unique selling point resulting from the close collaboration between E-MERSIV and CANOE. The PACK-ALL-BLACK battery pack product will address a large range of vehicles such as construction equipment, material handling equipment, special machines.but can also be suitable for other automotive and stationary (worksite mobile charging station) applications.
