Char of Metals and Alloys
Metals under close examination
The major research areas of the Chair of Metallic Materials include:
- High temperature materials
- Light metal alloys
- Laser metallurgy including joining, coating, and heat treatment
To address these topics, the following methods are employed:
- Materials testing at different strain rates and temperatures, with deformation rates ranging from 10⁻⁹ to 10² per second and temperatures from room temperature up to the melting point of the metal.
- Sample preparation and structural analysis using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, as well as highly accurate chemical analysis techniques such as micro X ray fluorescence analysis and glow discharge spectroscopy.
- Modeling and simulation of material microstructures and their influence on mechanical behavior, such as the generation of internal stresses during microstructure formation.
With these research activities, the Chair of Metallic Materials participates in numerous research projects. These include the DFG Research Training Group Stable and Metastable Multiphase Systems at High Application Temperatures, the nationwide research group Nickel Base Superalloys with locations in Bochum, Magdeburg, Siegen, Braunschweig, and Bayreuth, as well as many bilateral collaborations.
As a result, the chair's activities span the full spectrum from fundamental research and industry related research to direct industrial research, covering an equally broad range of topics and application areas.
