SFB 1232: From colored states to evolutionary structural materials

应用适应性结构材料的开发是能源或交通等领域未来大量应用的基础，这些应用需要特定的性能。合作研究中心1232研究了材料开发的全新方法“有色状态”，通过化学材料成分和热、机械或热机械处理的组合实现特定的要求。该方法的基本假设是使用预测函数将快速确定的描述符映射到标准化的材料属性。在高通量下对微量样品测定各种描述符。这种高通量的材料和工艺设计相结合的过程在科学上对于结构材料来说是全新的，其性能来自于微观结构中不同材料成分的相互作用。今后，它应能根据经济和环境无害的概念，迅速查明新材料及其加工，以满足具体的要求。用于金属结构材料的可能的合金化概念和加工变体的数量几乎是无限的，并且状态的数量非常大，其在变化的种类和密度方面类似于宽的色谱。因此，在这个大搜索空间中识别特定解决方案的方法被称为“Farbige Zustände”（“有色状态”），也是对钢的回火和退火颜色的隐喻。

The development of application-adapted structural materials is the basis for a large number of future applications in areas such as energy or mobility, which require a specific performance profile. The Collaborative Research Centre 1232 investigates the completely new method "coloured states" of materials development, in which specific requirement profiles are realised through a combination of chemical material composition and thermal, mechanical or thermomechanical processing.The basic hypothesis for this method is the mapping of quickly determinable descriptors to standardized material properties using a predictor function. The various descriptors are determined on micro samples in high throughput. This procedure of combined material and process design in high throughput is scientifically completely new for structural materials whose properties result from the interaction of different material components within a microstructure. In the future, it should enable rapid identification of new materials and their processing on the basis of economically and environmentally sound concepts for specific requirement profiles. The number of possible alloying concepts and processing variants for metallic structural materials is almost unlimited, and a very large number of states, which are similar to a broad colour spectrum in their variety and density of variation. The method used to identify specific solutions in this large search space is therefore called "Farbige Zustände" (“colored states”), also as a metaphorical link to the tempering and annealing colors of steels.
