On November 14 and 15, 2024, in France (Nancy), at the Jean Lamour Institute, the next GREENE working meeting was held on the project “SINGLE-GRAIN RE-ENGINEERED ND-FE-B PERMANENT MAGNETS”.
The meeting was attended by a consortium consisting of 15 research organizations and enterprises from Slovenia, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Ukraine. There were also four industrial partners, including the world-famous company BOSH, and the project coordinator was the Josef Stefan Institute (Ljubljana, Slovenia).
At the working meeting, the consortium partners made reports on eight work packages (WP1 – WP8). Within the framework of work package No. 1 (WP1 – Multi-scale Simulations), the meeting was addressed by the scientific leader of the project at VNTU, Doctor of Engineering Sciences Oleksandr GRUSHKO, who created the appropriate prerequisites for VNTU’s participation in this project, the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Transport, Doctor of Engineering Sciences Serhii SUKHORUKOV, and Associate Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Transport, Doctor of Engineering Sciences Inna KYRITSYA.
The partners highlighted the progress of the project implementation, clarified plans and current tasks. Over the course of 4 years, the partners will develop high-energy magnets based on Nd-Fe-B. Their innovative reengineering will take place at the level of individual grains to minimize the total content of rare-earth elements Nd, thus reducing the impact on the environment, as well as reducing dependence on supplies of this critically important raw material from China.
The tasks of VNTU, as a partner, are to study residual stresses and misfit deformations in certain compositions of polycrystalline Nd-Fe-B, to take into account the influence of structural and mechanical aspects of the systems on the local magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the studied material.
“GREENE” aims to develop important technologies, knowledge and materials within the EU, which will contribute to strengthening European independence and competitiveness of Europe in accordance with the needs of industry. It aims to achieve significant scientific results that will contribute to the growth of green technologies. Thus, the next four years will be crucial for research in the field of permanent magnets.
The scientific potential of VNTU meets the level of international requirements and standards and represents Ukraine with dignity in the European space of innovations and research!
