These developments together will lead to a much efficient approach and tool to support the co-design of coating materials and substrate systems, optimisation of PVD processes, and reduced overall new coating system development cycle time by 50-100%, and material savings and waste reductions for developing the new coating systems by at least by 4-5 folds, comparing to traditional experimental trials and error approaches. The advancement of M2DESCO will contribute to combating the loss in EU region caused by corrosion and wear, excellently increase the global profile and competitive edge of EU modelling community and significantly strengthen the competitiveness of EU coating research and business with an European market size of €196 mill in 2020 and €421M in 2026 for anti-corrosion coatings and anti-wear hard coatings respectively thus greatly benefiting the wider manufacturing chain and effectively increasing the global competitiveness and the resilience of EU industry.
