The team’s research activities focus on the following areas:

• additive manufacturing of metallic materials, primarily non-ferrous metal alloys, and their post-processing;
• tailoring of material properties through plastic deformation processes;
• analysis of corrosion and material degradation mechanisms, including hydrogen-induced effects;
• characterization of material microstructures using electron microscopy techniques and X-ray diffraction;
• development and investigation of advanced materials for armaments applications.
   

Research Scope
