Workplan & Work Packages

WP1 • Case studies definition

Identify archetypes, materials and target shapes; define primary & reshaping routes for two aluminium case studies.

WP2 • EoL inspection

Thickness distribution measurement (laser/optical/ultrasound), and a Reshaping Suitability Index for EoL components.

WP3 • Material & damage models

Standard characterization (tensile, FLD), advanced constitutive models (e.g., HAH), and ductile damage modelling tuned to reshaping.

WP4 • Process engineering

FE modelling of full routes; process windows; hybridization (SPIF+HF/WHF or SPIF+HGMF); experimental validation.

WP5 • LCA

UPLCI data collection and comparative LCA vs. conventional recycling (ISO 14040 series; SimaPro).

WP6–7 • Validation & dissemination

Validation on an automotive EoL part; guidelines & DST; workshop at month 24; scientific publications and project website
