Microstructure analytics (C01)

• Subject Area: Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials
• Term: from 2007 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 29898171

The activities in project C1 aim at understanding the relationship between the microstructure, existing interfaces and the formation of defect structures and the properties of the relevant alloy sytems. The investigations aim at revealing the specific relations between the alloy composition and the deformation and hardening mechanisms. In addition we will investigate the atomistic structure of coherent and incoherent interfaces in multiphase alloys and their influence on the dislocation interaction and strain relaxation.
