Chair of Materials Technology

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the problems in modern material technology the complex problems need to be worked on collectively by material scientists, chemists, physicists and mechanical engineers. The Working Group for Physical Materials is part of the Chair of Materials Technology.

Research

The working group conducts research in particular in the field of X-ray micro-diffraction; it maintains a wide range of research collaborations and offers – in terms of infrastructure – a broad portfolio of analytical services.

Teaching

The working group provides several lectures for the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, supplemented by exercises and research-related practical lessons. In addition, the supervision of diploma and assignment paper belongs to the curriculum.

Short overview of the Working Group

The Physical Materials Diagnostics Research Group operated the Special X-ray Laboratory until 2026. Its main areas of focus were:

  • Method development in the field of X-ray microdiffraction (including at the synchrotron)
  • Functional materials for microelectronics
  • Precision orientation determination at the single-grain level (KOSSEL technique)
  • Determination of minute symmetry reductions (KOSSEL technique)
  • Precision lattice constant determination and high-spatial-resolution Type III residual stress analysis (KOSSEL technique)
  • Phase identification in the macro- and micro-ranges
  • Quality inspection of bulk single crystals
  • Orientation mapping and texture analysis at the macro- and micro-scales using EBSD
  • Digital image processing of micro-diffraction images

In addition, we offered imaging of “internal” material defects in compact specimens and components (X-ray and ultrasonic inspection). In the field of defectoscopy, we had equipment for locating surface defects and near-surface defects, as well as endoscopic methods for the visual inspection of hard-to-reach areas of compact components.

We were a member of SAWLab-Saxony.
