Experimental Methods and Material Characterization
For the processing and the scale-bridging characterization of our materials systems at investigation we use in-house equipment and equipment supplied by KNMF. For sample characterisation we furthermore closely collaborate with the Metallograpic Lab and with the Lab for Mechanical Testing at IAM-WK.
