SILTRANS Micro and Nanocrystalline Silicide - Refractory Metals FGM for Materials Innovation in Transport Applications
Coordinator: USTAV MATERIALOV A MECHANIKY STROJOV SLOVENSKEJ AKADEMIE (SK)
The SILTRANS project focuses on the development of novel composites consisting of percolating shaped bodies made from refractory metals (Nb, Mo, W) which are embedded in silicide-matrix. In such composites the silicide matrix provides excellent oxidation resistance at high temperature (forming silica), while percolating refractory metal reinforcements enhances their strength at high temperature, ductility and creep resistance. The continuous metallic skeleton serves as efficient tool against crack propagation, thus improving toughness of material at both high and low temperatures. The volume …
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
Co-funding: the European Union contributes €3.0M toward a total project budget of €4.3M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2009-10-01 to 2013-09-30.
