| Abstract Scope |
Growing awareness of environmental issues is influencing the entire materials and product development life cycle. End of life management in terms of scrap, recycling, recovery, and waste storage are critical when considering the circular economy of materials and their environmental impact. Additionally, it is important to consider materials sustainability, particularly associated with critical minerals and scarce precious metals.
Computational tools can be applied to all stages of the materials life cycle to develop strategies around these topics and in this presentation, several examples will be given from different areas where Thermo-Calc has been used successfully to:
Develop new, better alloys that enable higher efficiency and sustainability
Develop more efficient manufacturing processes that result in less energy consumption or alternatively a higher yield
Enable increased use of recycled materials
Develop and optimize alternative processes for scrap melters who are dealing with ever-increasing levels of undesirable elements and impurities. |
