Welcome to the Advanced Processing & Additive Manufacturing of Metals group. Our goal is the development, processing and characterization of advanced metallic materials and metal-based composites by combining modeling and simulation with sophisticated experiments. A special emphasize is on the development of novel or modified alloys for laser-based additive manufacturing processes. The main research activities include:

• Design of alloys and (nano-) composites
• Powder engineering
• Additive manufacturing and laser metals processing
• Advanced in situ and ex situ characterization
