TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERGAKADEMIE FREIBERG
Collaborative Research Center SFB 799:
TRIP-Matrix-Composites Design of tough, transformationstrengthened composites and structures based on Fe-ZrO 2
Planned program period: 2008 – 2020
Coordinator: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Horst Biermann, Institute of Materials Technology, TU BAF
Deputy Coordinator: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Christos G. Aneziris, IKGB, TU BAF
The vision of the SFB 799 is the exploration of a new class of high-performance composites called
TRIP-MATRIX-COMPOSITES based on TRIP-assisted steels and zirconium dioxide ceramics (TRIP:
transformation-induced plasticity). The development of innovative materials, structures, and
processes as well as the application of bionic principles to micro and macro structures enable the
generation of high-performance, highly stressable components with pioneering characteristics for
the passenger safety in cars, trains and aircrafts.

Priority Programme SPP 1418:
Refractories – Initiative to Reduce Emissions – FIRE
Planned program period: 2009 – 2015
Coordinator: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Christos G. Aneziris, IKGB, TU BAF
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has triggered a Priority Programme SPP 1418 for the next
6 years for applicable basic research in the refractory area by bridging different material disciplines
and understanding the refractory materials as multifunctional, active, advanced ceramic components. Main targets are lower emissions at high temperature applications due to the impact of refractory innovations, development of improved thermal shocked oxide materials and designs as well
as functionality in the application area of steel metallurgy and energy sector.

GLASING
Planned program period: 2007 – 2016
Coordinator: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiko Hessenkemper, IKGB, TU BAF
The aim of the GLASING project is the development of energy efficient technology suitable for the
production of thermal toughened glass with a thickness of less than 2 mm and improved chemical
and optical properties. The level of tension in the glass should reach that of toughened safety glass.
For the thermal toughening of thin glass the heat transmission between glass and cooling medium
has to be increased considerably. This can be accomplished by employing a liquid phase or a
gas/liquid phase as a cooling medium. In order to apply this intensified cooling process to the industrial thermal toughening of glass, the strength of the glass sheets has to be increased by different
means.
