Materials trends in the Transport System

An example of integration along a complex value chain

Marco Falzetti Advanced Materials International Forum

Bari, 18-19 September 2014

This presentation is based on the Materials for Transport presentation done at the MatVal

workshop on Materials by Sector (11 March 2014, Brussels)

Commonalities

o Lightweight as development target

o Increasing electrification

o Increased introduction of information and

communication technologies (e.g. internet of things)

o Sustainability

o …..

But significantly different in terms of

o cost requirements

o production volumes

o life-time

o certification procedures and standards

o ….

Introduction

o Road & sea freight transport is about 82.9 per cent of total performance

o Passenger transport is highly dominated by individual passenger cars

Modal distribution of transport

o advanced lightweight materials and manufacturing

issues play a crucial role in decarbonisation of our

transport system and for global competitiveness

o multi-material design offers the highest potential in

weight savings and the best CO2 balance

o a holistic CO2 life cycle balance is necessary that takes

into account the processing of the raw material, the

manufacturing, use-phase and recycling (LCA)

Development of sustainable materials for transport solutions

o novel, innovative lightweight materials

o High strength metallics / alloys made with abundant alloying elements

o Hybrid material solutions

o Applicability and scalability of bio-based materials

o Enhanced plastics and composites

o Corrosion and corrosion fatigue, ageing of multi-materials

o Overcoming uncertainties in secondary materials; designing alloys for high recycling

rates

o Materials for energy storage, power electronics,…

o Substitution of rare and high demand materials, reduced dependency of scare materials

o Powder metallurgy for added manufacturing

o Painting adhesion

o Understanding multi-physical damages

Materials & Manufacturing –

Examples for Research Needs

Structures

Greening of components and systems by function integrated materials

o novel, innovative functional materials

o functional materials such as polymeric, ceramic or metallic

transducer materials,

o conductive and piezoresistive polymers

o Materials for sensorized structures

o New surface and coating solutions, e.g. for self-cleaning, self-healing

or anti-corrosion,

o Materials for noise abatement and aesthetical improvements

o Reversible adhesives and joints

to promote the leading global position and competitiveness of the EU technology in the area of Advanced Engineering Materials

to ensure optimum involvement of Industry and other important Stakeholders in establishing European R&D priorities

to promote the consolidated and unified R&D&I European policy in this area

Innovative use of existing materials based on good understanding of applications, material requirements and materials degradation mechanisms

Modification of existing materials for new applications (new grades of existing materials systems, new manufacturing processes)

Development of entirely new materials or materials groups (nanomaterials, active/intelligent materials, composites, hybrid and multimaterial structures etc.) and qualifying them for the market

14


Strategic Research Agenda in the area of advanced engineering materials and related materials technologies

R&D priorities for the EU Workprogrammes

Building the future – A4M Networking of other ETPs / EMRS / FEMS dealing with Materials along the value chain to achieve the most effective use of the community resources • Value chain driven action • Cross-KETs • Cross Platform building

The original initiators of A4M initiative are six European Technology Platforms with a strong material agenda in their respective strategies. These are: EuMaT, Suschem, Manufuture, FTC (textile), ESTEP, SMR (sustainable resources), integrated by the two main European materials associations: E-MRS and FEMS

integrate the diversity of ideas in Materials developments across ETPs and other main stakeholders to create synergy and an integrated Materials R&D programme for Europe

ensure that the Industrial Value Chain acts as main driver for a credible integration of resources and players for speeding up exploitation and valorisation of materials research
