Open round laboratory equipment showing mechanical and electrical components in a research setting.


Equipment

For our research activities, we can rely on a very broad range of preparation methods and analytical techniques. We operate laboratories for primary and secondary forming processes, powder production and characterisation, as well as additive manufacturing. In addition, we have a fully equipped metallography facility and a wide set of methods for microstructural analysis, as well as for mechanical, structural, and magnetic characterisation.
