General information

Short Summary
A Turkish SME is seeking a project partner within the framework of the Turkey-Germany bilateral cooperation program (2507-DGF). The SME is conducting research on the development of aluminum alloys, with a focus on the addition of rare earth elements using computational materials engineering approaches.

The SME is looking for a German partner who can either produce the developed alloy or carry out its characterization studies. Organizations with expertise in alloy production, materials character
Full Description
With advancing technology, the service requirements of engineering components are constantly evolving. Consequently, the properties of existing materials are becoming insufficient, leading to a growing demand for the development of new materials.

In this project, a Turkish SME aims to investigate the effects of various rare earth elements (such as La, Ce, Nd, Er, Sc, etc.) added to an Al-Mg-Cu-Si alloy, with the objective of developing a novel aluminum-based alloy.

Within the scope of the Turkey-Germany bilateral cooperation program (2507-DGF), the SME is seeking a German partner to undertake one of the following work packages:

Production of the developed alloy, either through casting or laboratory-scale powder production using ultrasonic or gas atomization techniques,
or Characterization of the developed alloy.
Organizations or institutions with expertise in these areas are kindly invited to collaborate within the framework of this bilateral R&D initiative.
Advantages and Innovations
The goal of this project is to develop a new-generation aluminum alloy. Within the scope of the work, temperature-dependent material properties of the alloy are calculated by creating digital twins in a numerical modeling environment, utilizing computational materials engineering technologies.

The main focus of the project is on additive manufacturing technologies. In this context, the search for a project partner with suitable production infrastructure is a priority.

A Turkish SME is seeking a German partner for a joint application under the Turkey-Germany bilateral cooperation program (2507-DGF). The desired partner is expected to carry out alloy production through one or more of the following methods:

- Casting
- Melt spinning
- Gas atomization
- Ultrasonic atomization
Organizations with experience in alloy production and a focus on additive manufacturing are invited to collaborate within this project framework.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
Project partnerships are being sought with research centers, universities, or private sector companies. Priority will be given to partners who can undertake production activities or contribute to characterization studies within the scope of the project.
