ACHIEF General Assembly meeting in Grenoble
On 19-20 October, the ACHIEF consortium met in Grenoble to discuss the latest updates on the project.
Since its launch in October 2020, the ACHIEF team has been working hard on progressing to achieve the ambitious goals of the project. The project addresses the main aspects related implement a more efficient and sustainable Energy Intensive Industrial sector.
Last October 19th and 20th, the ACHIEF’s General Assembly was held in Grenoble at the headquarters of The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). Due to the COVID situation this was the first in-person meeting after the launch of the project in October 2020.
During the meeting, the partners discussed the progress of the work packages with the aim to monitor and forecast the work plan and the next steps at technical and administrative level.
For the ACHIEF consortium, it was a very exciting experience since they were also able to visit the CEA and the CONSTELLIUM facilities.
Two days of intense work but lots of enthusiasm!
What is the project about?
The ACHIEF project is developing a novel Integrated Artificial Intelligence aided Materials Toolbox with the aim to propose innovative and adapted high performance materials and protective coatings. The main ambition of ACHIEF is to produce four types of new materials:
- WPDC coatings with improved high-temperature corrosion and erosion resistance;
- Advanced Cr-steels grade with 15% improved creep resistance and higher temperature corrosion resistance;
- Innovative high-temperature and creep resistance materials based on HESAs models; and
- High-performance coatings based on HEA-nanocomposites.
In a more advanced framework, the developed materials will be implemented in industrial environments to demonstrate their performance. The uses cases will be in CONSTELLIUM (France), ArcelorMittal (Spain), and Tüpraş (Turkey).
The impact of the project is to improve energy efficiency by 20%, reduce the CO2 emissions by 20%, and increase the lifetime of the equipment of more than 20%.
