Project Summary

NADIA European Project - New Automotive components Designed for and manufactured by Intelligent processing of light Alloys

Objectives

NADIA will exploit the potential of light multifunctional alloys for car and truck components and systems through advances in nano & micro technologies. The project has the following multi-level S&T objectives:

Final level:

• to produce light alloys cast component prototypes for the EU transport industry, as proof-of-concept of the intelligent processing strategy;
• to integrate new simultaneous nano-technology based design tools within production and engineering processes
• to assess vehicle components & systems integrated in larger entities (chassis, vehicle bodies).

Intermediate level:
