Multifunctional High-Performance Components made of hybrid porous materials


The objective of TRR 375 is to establish a new class of components: multifunctional high-performance components. These consist of hybrid porous (HyPo for short) materials, which are characterized by a combination of different metallic materials and an intentionally cellular material structure.

Components made from HyPo-materials have a locally varying density, for example in the form of graded porosity, and mechanical and thermal properties that are specifically tailored to the application. They should also fulfill additional functions, including sensors integrated into the components. The sensors can, for example, be used for permanent self-monitoring. Thus, a complete load history of the component up to its impending failure can be recorded, its lifetime can be determined and thus fully exploited.

The focus of the Collaborative Research Centre is on developing methods for the calculation, design, construction, manufacture and characterization of components made of HyPo-materials. In order to answer the underlying questions, the Collaborative Research Centre pursues an interdisciplinary approach. In TRR 375, researchers from the disciplines of production engineering, materials engineering, metrology, mechanics, design and computer science work together to understand the material design, development and production of multifunctional high-performance components.

Kick-off Event

On April 3 and 4, the kick-off event of the Collaborative Research Centre / Transregio "Multifunctional high-performance components made of hybrid porous materials" took place at the Hannover Centre for Production Technology. During the event, the main research areas and central service projects of the CRC/Transregio were presented. The individual projects were presented in a poster session. In addition, the constituent meetings of the three cross-section groups Hybridization, Porosity and Multifunctionality took place. Within the cross-section groups, CRC-wide questions are answered. In addition to the scientific exchange, the focus of the two days of the event is also on the doctoral researchers getting to know each other in order to lay the foundations for future collaborations and a successful CRC/Transregio. Many thanks to the DFG for its generous support of the CRC/Transregio over the next four years.
