In the first funding phase, TP6 focused on austenitic stainless steels. However, these steels generally show good resistance to solidification cracking, which makes it difficult to directly correlate theoretical predictions with experimentally observed, cracked microstructures. For the second funding phase, TP6 therefore focuses on Ni-based superalloys<\/strong>. These alloys exhibit a significantly higher susceptibility to solidification cracking and offer a wide range of compositional variations and solidification behaviours, making them far better suited for an in-depth study of the underlying relationships between microstructure and properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Building on the work of the first phase, TP6 established several key results that form the foundation for the second phase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The overarching goal of the second phase is to improve the understanding and quantitative prediction of solidification cracking at the microscale in Ni-based superalloys. The main objectives are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project is divided into five interrelated work packages (WP):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, the workflows of WP2, WP3 and WP5 form a digital twin<\/strong> that can be used to analyse how the physical boundary conditions influence the critical factors in solidification cracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TP6 receives thermal and mechanical boundary conditions from TP3<\/strong> and TP4<\/strong>, and grain-scale microstructures from TP3<\/strong>. In return, TP6 supplies microscale morphological information and effective, temperature-dependent mechanical properties to TP4<\/strong> and TP5<\/strong>, and parameterises the grain-scale solidification model in TP3<\/strong>. Simulated microstructures are compared with experimental results from TP1<\/strong> and TP2<\/strong>, and all workflows, data and metadata are managed via TP7<\/strong> (Kadi4Mat), following the FAIR principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Dr. rer. nat.
