1. International Workshop for UHTCs and UHT-CMCs
What would you do......if there are materials that have a melting point above 3000°C, a strength of ≥500 MPa, and a Young's modulus of ~500 GPa? What would you do if these materials had electrical and thermal conductivities of >10^6 S/m and >60 W/m*K?
One group of materials that have these properties are ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC). Due to their properties, these materials are suitable for various aerospace applications, e.g. B. for the leading edges of hypersonic vehicles. But are there other potential application areas with extreme requirements that could be solved with UHTCs? Which processes are suitable for scale-up in industry? How far is digital development for UHTCs with machine learning, big data analysis and simulations? And what does the carbon footprint of UHTCs actually look like?
Find out and come to the DLR's 1st International Workshop for UHTCs and UHT-CMCs on July 13th and 14th, 2023 in Cologne. We want to bring science and industry together to answer these and other questions. The program parts of the workshop are:1. Properties of UHTCs and UHT-CMCs.2. Manufacturing processes and processing3. Applications with extreme requirements
