SIP-DEV

Materials Science and Simulation

... looks into questions such as ...

  • Which changes at the atomic level affect the macrostructure?
  • Which properties do materials have regarding their physical structure and mechanical specifications?
  • How can certain materials, e.g. steel, be processed for the finished product to meet specific requirements?
  • Which properties of a material are affected by changes to the microstructure?
  • How can materials be processed to meet the high requirements of, for example, the aviation and aerospace industry?
