AID4GREENEST researchers from the University of Oulu (UOulu), have published new research on the effect of solidification induced segregation on austenite formation and grain growth during re-heating of a forged steel part.
Led by EurA AG, the AID4GREENEST sustainability team has conducted a comprehensive cradle-to-gate environmental assessment of the project’s large steam turbine shaft, benchmarking its performance against leading industrial standards.
One of the most critical, yet invisible, challenges in manufacturing high-performance forged components lies deep within the material itself, at the microscopic scale of individual grains.
Across research institutions and industrial partners, decades of microstructural characterisation have produced vast archives of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) images.
The AID4GREENEST consortium will create a CEN Workshop for the elaboration of a CWA (European standard) to standardise project results, in particular the methodology for Accelerated Creep Testing.
A significant AID4GREENEST project milestone was reached recently, as engineers from Reinosa Forgings & Castings (RFC) visited Siemens Energy’s Brno facilities to review the results of the thermal stability test performed on the experimental shaft prototype developed within the project.
AID4GREENEST researchers have published new research that strengthens the scientific foundations behind reliable, uncertainty-aware modelling, a key pillar for AI-driven innovation in sustainable industry.
Last Friday, AID4GREENEST wrapped up its 4th annual consortium meeting following a full week of project-related activities in Granada, Spain.
The AID4GREENEST project had a strong presence at the FEMS EUROMAT2025 Conference, held in Granada, Spain, organising the symposium Artificial Intelligence, Modelling and Data Science in Advanced Alloy and Process Design.
AID4GREENEST researcher, Dr. Michael Sluydts from ePotentia, has shared insights on materials research related to the company’s ongoing work on implementing Artificial Intelligence solutions to improve the steel manufacturing industry.
Last week, Dr. Ilchat Sabirov, coordinator of the AID4GREENEST project and Principal Investigator at IMDEA Materials Institute, shared invaluable insights on developing pioneering digital solutions for sustainable steel manufacturing at the Future Steel Forum in Barcelona, Spain.
At the recent 7th International Conference on Advances in Solidification Processes (ICASP7) in Madrid, AID4GREENEST researcher Dr. Aarne Pohjonen from the University of Oulu presented new insights into solidification-induced segregation and its impact on grain growth during the heating of forged steel components.
