Laboratory Tour: Advanced Materials Processing and Characterization

02 Sep 2026 08:30 - 09:30FB 15 - Institut für Werkstofftechnik · Metallische Werkstoffe · Sophie-Henschel-Haus · Mönchebergstr. 3 · 34125 Kassel

Abstract

We cordially invite researchers, students, and academic collaborators to a comprehensive guided tour of our state-of-the-art materials science and manufacturing facilities. This tour will provide a detailed overview of our advanced analytical and processing infrastructure, offering insights into our current research methodologies and opening discussions for potential interdisciplinary collaborations.

Tour Highlights

During the tour, our researchers will demonstrate the capabilities of our core facilities, focusing on advanced microstructural characterization and novel manufacturing processes:

  • X-Ray Laboratory: Discover our comprehensive facilities dedicated to high-resolution, non-destructive structural analysis, phase identification, and internal defect characterization of complex materials.
  • FIB-SEM (Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope): Observe our capabilities for nanoscale microstructural characterization. This system enables ultra-high-resolution imaging, precision cross-sectional analysis, and site-specific TEM sample preparation.
  • Additive Manufacturing Laboratory: Explore our research environment dedicated to advancing industrial 3D printing, where we investigate layer-by-layer fabrication phenomena, novel alloy synthesis, and process parameter optimization.
  • Custom In Operando DED-X-Ray Analysis Setup: The highlight of the tour is our unique experimental setup combining a Directed Energy Deposition (DED) machine with a high-flux X-ray metal jet. This cutting-edge integration allows for real-time, in operando analysis of metal additive manufacturing. It enables us to observe melt pool dynamics, solidification phenomena, and phase transformations exactly as they occur during the deposition process.
