Metal Physics

For future with sustainable mobility and climate-neutral energy generation, we need high-performance advanced metallic and intermetallic materials. This is the reason why we are developing lightweight TiAl alloys and their manufacturing processes, investigating novel superalloys and researching high-temperature materials. The behavior and properties of these materials must be analysed and understood in order to develop them in a targeted manner. Many material properties are determined by factors that occur at the atomic level or depend on microstructural details down to the nanometer scale.

The Metal Physics Department analyses these phenomena at all scales under conditions that prevail in use or during production. In parallel, processes and materials properties are digitally modelled. In this way, high-performance materials and their sophisticated manufacturing processes can be further developed and tailored to the needs of society and industry.
