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

Solid state phase transformations in CrNi and TIRP/TWIP steels
Transformation of magnetic domains in electrodeposits and novel materials
SiO2 based organic/non-organic self-healing coatings

Mechanical fatigue in the LCF, HCF and VHCF range
Functional fatigue: change in magnetic properties as a result of mechanical stress
Surfaces with specific morphology for fatigue and wear-resistant components
New damage parameters
based on machine learning and electro-magnetic
