ABSTRACT: Sustainable Energy Harvesting Systems Based on Innovative Mine Waste Recycling (START) is an Innovation Action project co-funded by the EU and its Horizon Europe programme. Using an advanced powder production and consolidation process, the project’s aim is to create a sustainable supply chain for green energy harvesting products by transforming sulphide materials from mining waste into sustainable hig...
ABSTRACT: Liquid film migration is of great practical importance in materials engineering. The phenomenon has been shown to depend on thermal gradients and coherency strain, but no single driving mechanism seems capable of justifying the whole array of experimental observations. On the other hand, the inevitable capillarity effects are often disregarded due to the unknown 3-dimensional geometry of the system. H...

Composites consisting of tantalum fiber/powder dispersed in a nanostructured W matrix have been consolidated by spark and pulse plasma sintering as well as by hot isostatic pressing. The microstructural observations revealed that the tungsten–tantalum fiber composites consolidated by hot isostatic pressing and pulse plasma sintering presented a continuous layer of Ta2O5 phase at the W/Ta interfaces, while the s...
The long-term objective of the European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) fusion materials programme is to develop structural and armor materials in combination with the necessary production and fabrication technologies for reactor concepts beyond the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The programmatic roadmap is structured into four engineering research lines which comprise fabrication process...
