Materials Characterization

• Characterization of microstructures and mechanical properties of all materials

• Failure analysis, wear and corrosion research, nondestructive testing, modeling and simulation

• Transmission and scanning electron microscopy with elemental analysis (EDS) and texture/phase identification (EBSD)

• Mechanical testing at wide ranges of strain rate and  temperature

• High speed photography up to 1,000,000 fps

• Dynamic materials testing with Hopkinson Split Bar techniques
• Extensive scientific collaboration and research exchange with foreing universities
