The main objective of project C02 is to determine the intrinsic mechanical properties of HyPo-components. These are physical and mechanical characteristics that are intrinsic to a specific material volume, regardless of its shape, size or position in a HyPo-component. To this end, the microstructural features, morphology and mechanical properties such as nano-hardness as well as the tensile, impact and fatigue behavior are comprehensively characterized on small samples prepared from HyPo-components. Project C02 will thus determine the fundamental interactions between the manufacturing process, the microstructure and the intrinsic mechanical properties of the additively manufactured HyPo-materials. Knowledge of these interactions is crucial for the optimization of HyPo-components with improved structural properties under different operating loads.
