1 New DTI Materials Metrology Programme Emi Piuila-Afitu Clive Scoggins Bill Nimmo

2 Formulation Timetable Kick off Jan 2006 Orientation Feb 2006 Consultation Mar-Nov 2006 Websites Focus Groups Existing forums Project ideas? July 2006 Project submissions Nov 2006 Mar 2007 Programme launch April 2007

3 It s not the Performance Programme Characterisation Performance Processing

4 DTI Materials Metrology Programme In situ measurement Functional materials Sustainable use of materials Coatings, surfaces, interfaces Lifetime, models reliability,probability

5 In situ measurement Lifetime management and process control Real time linked to models Comes with measurement challenges -Temperature at core not surface Applications Coatings Bio medical applications Microstructure

6 Functional materials Underpants to aeroplanes! Lifetime assurance models Characterisation Stability and surface effects Thin films Better integration with science base and KT

7 Coatings and surfaces Substrate / coating interaction interfacial properties-strength surface properties wear electrochemistry dynamic properties Models NDE remnant life process control Environmental effects non-ambient temperatures and thermal gradients specific environments combined effects hot gas erosion

8 Sustainable use of materials Industry relevant LCA that isn t academic Measurement of energy to produce something Long term degradation of polymers landfill Best practice and KT Recycling drop in performance reduction in processability ID of contaminants process optimisation castings and high temp processes Characterisation of nanomaterials

9 Lifetime prediction, probability,reliability, modelling Better data especially in tails of distribution Data mining Increased confidence in data-model-test method Better understanding of mechanisms and non idealistic scenarios Mitigation of risk shorten development time All levels all scales and scaleable

10 New Concept: Meeting a Grand Challenge Example: Characterisation of microstructure of steel strip during processing Measurement Steam 10 m/s plus Needs to be a bit more generic Feedback Real time 1000c plus

11 New Concept: Seal of Approval: Validation of Data sets Methods Models Real world data and stats defect based non normal distribution non ideal microstructure Confidence

12 Pinch Points Benefit commercial/legislative driver Product definition Technological barrier (needs to be overcome) Technical issue (need to innovate, understand, improve) Measure something (metrology need) Enabling!

13 Pinch point +Project = Benefit

14 Think Big Step change in use of materials More risk-metrology challenges Greater benefits Push the programme content

15 Where might we go? Reducing environmental impact (energy consumption, recycling, ) Smart / functional polymers Nano-fillers and micromoulding Reliability of design for life performance
