Additive Manufacturing
- Analysis of the effects of process parameters on the microstructure of additively manufactured materials
- Qualification of metallic materials for additive manufacturing processes (direct energy deposition, laser and electron beam-based powder bed fusion)
- Generation of graded properties for the functionalization of materials via additive manufacturing
- Analysis of the properties of additively manufactured materials at the interfaces to the areas of "fatigue and surface layer optimization" (structural integrity and/or post-treatment of components), "shape memory alloys" (functional properties of additively manufactured materials), "corrosion" (corrosion behaviour of additively manufactured materials) and "radiographic fine structure analyses" (analysis of residual stress development, phase composition and texture)
