Materials Technology

Diminishing resource capacities are of major importance regarding the development of technical materials for high-end applications. Limited resources not only strongly affect the price but also a continuous supply with the desired raw materials is at risk. Hence, the use of primary raw materials should be kept at minimum level or even completely eliminated. In consultation with you the competence field Materials Technologie in the Fraunhofer IWKS develops and optimizes materials for your specific application with regard to an intelligent use of raw materials. For this our project group is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art facilities, covering a broad spectrum of materials processing technologies. Our portfolio ranges from classical heat treatment, melting of alloys in an arc furnace to generation of amorphous or nanocrystalline structures by rapid solidification or hydrogen treatment.
