Characterisation of materials and structures by means of scanning electron microscopy and EDX, EBSD and STEM analysis
Within the scope of the research project funded by the DFG, a high-resolution scanning electron microscope with EDX, EBSD and STEM detectors as well as an external FIB will be procured and scientific staff will be provided to opera

In a similar context, it is about the quantification of process chains in the subtractive machining of steels. In addition, electrochemically deposited hard and soft magnetic nanocrystalline materials are to be characterised with regard to their properties, which will open up new fields of application for this established but not yet widely used
Evaluation of the frequency influence on the fatigue behaviour of unalloyed steels
Fatigue life prediction methods (LPV) developed at WWHK in recent years have so far been limited to the transition between LCF (Low Cycle Fatigue) and HCF (High Cycle Fatigue) and to the HCF regime. This has recently led to controversial discussions regarding the ut
