Research
- Small scale materials testing on irradiated and unirradiated structural materials for nuclear applications. It is the aim to reduce the necessary sample volume to a minimum in order to assess the materials state while investigating the basic effects of radiation damage. Short Video
- Investigating new advanced structural materials concepts (e.g. oxide dispersion strengthened steels, SiC/SiC composites, additive manufactured components) for nuclear applications using accelerated materials testing via ion beam irradiations.
- Liquid metal corrosion of structural materials for nuclear applications. Development of a fundamental understanding of the involved mechanisms will lead to the development of improved alloying concepts and system operating techniques to reduce the corrosion issue.
