Latest project updates from the H2020 ACHIEF project!
Innovative high performance Alloys and Coatings for HIghly EFficient intensive energy processes
WELCOME ADDRESS
Welcome to our first ACHIEF Newsletter.
One of the many more to come!
ACHIEF project proposes innovative high-performance materials for Energy Intensive Industries to improve their energy performance by enabling process equipment to perform longer and with a better productivity. The project will highly impact the Energy Intensive industrial sector by:
significantly improving the energy efficiency,
reducing the CO2 emissions and utilization,
increasing the lifetime of the equipment.
ACHIEF will participle in the strategic environment challenge of the European Union of decreasing Green House Gas emissions by 80/90% by 2050.
WHAT IS THE ACHIEF ABOUT?
ACHIEF project has received a grant of €5,8 million from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme to develop novel efficient materials-based solutions enabling to meet extreme and fluctuating conditions currently employed in Energy Intensive Industries (EII).
How will ACHIEF work?
From theoretical parameters and requirements, a novel Integrated Artificial Intelligence aided Materials Toolbox will propose innovative and adapted high performance materials and protective coatings:
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
High performance coatings based on HEA-nanocomposites.
ACHIEF has an ambitious implementation plan for the next 42 months, starting as of October 1st, 2020. The work plan is divided into 9 work packages between 11 partners.
The ACHIEF consortium gathered for a very first time on 14.09.2020 for a 1-day kick-off meeting to officially mark the launch of the project. Due to COVID-19 pandemic situation in Europe, the meeting was held online.
