Materials Science and Technology

Unlocking the full potential of materials

The Materials Science and Technology (MST) group performs research into the key areas of materials science.

The group has a long standing tradition of collaboration with industrial and academic partners from all over the world.

Mechanical material behaviour​

Investigation of material and structural mechanical properties, with a particular focus on impact-dynamic conditions.

Physical metallurgy
Texture and recrystallisation phenomena.
Microstructural observation
Texture and recrystallisation phenomena, using tools such as XRD, SEM, TEM, EBSD including 3D-EBSD and TKD in combination with EDS.
Metal processing
Innovative and conventional approaches for the processing of damage and fracture in AHSS and electrical steels.
