| Abstract Scope |
The Computational Materials for Qualification and Certification (CM4QC) Steering Group was assembled in 2020, bringing together U.S. industry, government, and academia to explore ways of maturing Computational Materials (CM) framework capabilities for use in the qualification and certification (Q&C) of metallic process intensive materials (PIM) for aeronautics applications, including metal additive manufacturing (AM). CM4QC will inform the industry and the certifying agencies on how to enhance the current Q&C practices through the insertion of CM capabilities in aeronautical metallic PIM components/applications. Additionally, CM4QC will identify technical and regulatory considerations aimed at enabling the broader use and acceptance of CM methods within a Q&C framework. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the CM4QC steering group and its recently released community vision roadmap including identification of regulatory gaps, enablers, and requirements; identification of key CM and enabling technologies; and assessment of their current maturity levels and required future development. |
