Metastability
The Metastability group deals with experimental investigations and modeling of phase transformations and their influence on the mechanical and physical properties of metallic materials. We undertake interdisciplinary, fundamental, and application-oriented research.
Metastable austenitic steels, high-strength steels, electrical steel sheets and additively manufactured soft magnetic materials are analysed
