Activities
1st Interaction Week in Erlangen
SFB/Transregio 103 started in January 2012. In May 2012, all members and researchers came together during the first interaction week in Erlangen, from Monday 21st until Friday 25nd of May.
The week started with a one day school on basics of Ni-based superalloys (R.Rettig, project B1), on Co-based superalloys (S.Neumeier, project B3) and on thermodynamic and kinetic approaches including CALPHAD (S.Fries, project C6). On Monday afternoon, the participants from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, the DLR Köln, the FZ Jülich and the MPIE had a guided tour through the research facilities of the material scientists at the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen. The whole Tuesday and the Wednesday morning were dedicated to individual project presentations. On Wednesday afternoon, the members of the Technical Academic Advisory Board (TAAB) joined the meeting (T.Pollock - UC SB, M.Mills - OSU, R.Reed - University of Birmingham, J.Gabel - MTU, O. Lüsebrink - Siemens AG and T. Wagner - Doncasters). M. Mills gave a overview lecture on dislocation mechanisms which govern the high temperature deformation of single crystal super alloys. Then the TAAB members could interact with the individual SFB/Transregio 103 projects during a poster show.
On Thursday, G.Eggeler (RUB co-ordinator, mechanical properties), R. Singer (FAU co-ordinator, processing of single crystal Ni-base super alloys), M. Göken (new aspects of single crystal Co-base super alloys), E. Spiecker (characterization) and R. Drautz (modelling) presented overviews of interdisciplinary work in SFB/TR 103. After these overview talks the TAAB members retreated to discuss what was presented and to work out recommendations for further work. In parallel, the SFB/TR 103 members had the first general assembly. After a working lunch, M. Mills, the TAAB spokesman, communicated the TAAB recommendations to the SFB/Transregio 103 members. There were encouraging comments and recommendations with respect to the focus of the work. In the afternoon, all participants of the meeting enjoyed an evening on the Erlanger Bergkirchweih.
