COLLATERAL EVENT

Designing a component from a Critical Raw Materials Perspective

These presentations are not available

DERMAP is an international in-field training course on materials selection with particular reference to eco-design and critical raw materials (CRMs) issues. CRMs are those raw materials that are economically and strategically important to the European economy but that have a high risk associated with their supply. Used in environmental technologies, consumer electronics, health, steelmaking, defense, space exploration, and aviation, these materials are not only ‘critical’ for key industrial sectors and future applications, but also for the sustainable functioning of the European economy. In this scenario, ‘mitigating actions’ need to be taken to reduce the critical issues related to the use of these raw materials.
Recycling and substitution (when possible) are strategic solutions, but a more efficient use of CRMs in design, obtained through the correct selection of alloys, has become mandatory today. A method for selecting metal alloys from a CRMs perspective will be taught. The proposed method allows the alloy that minimizes both the environmental impact and its criticality to be selected for the application being considered. The method will be illustrated with examples.

Raul Carlsson

Raul Carlsson, SWEREA AB
Dr. Raul Carlsson graduated in 1995 with a Master in Science in Engineering Physic from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, and after ten years of different research projects in 2006 obtained his PhD in Industrial Environmental Informatics, also at Chalmers University (Sweden). Between 1996 and 2006 he was first project manager for the establishment of the world’s first national life cycle assessment database at Chalmers university, as a joint academic and industry project. In 1997 he initiated the international standardization of a structure for LCA data. This was released in 2002. In 1998 Raul Carlsson participated in developing eco-efficiency based eco-efficient design of railway vehicles, and worked with major European railway industries to develop this methodology, based on the eco-design data of life cycle assessment. Raul Carlsson has also been working in many different industrial projects for developing specific eco-design indicators, as well as for developing information systems that combine eco-design and organizational management systems. Since 1997 Dr Carlsson represents Sweden in the international standardization of the ISO 14000 family of standards, and is since 2013 convening the Swedish mirror group of this standardization. He is also a renowned lecturer in transparent life cycle assessment, data handling and calculations.
