Principal Investigators: Graham Schaffer, Zhe Liu, Tesfaye Molla, Christian Brandl The aim of this project is to design a new generation of proprietary, high-performance alloys and composites that are optimised for cold spray deposition. Cold spray is a new manufacturing technology that is used to create coatings for enhancement, repair, restoration and for additive manufacturing. […]

A project in the DFG Priority Programme “Compositionally Complex Alloys – High Entropy Alloys (CCA-HEA)” (SPP 2006) Principal Investigators: Ruth Schwaiger, Christian Brandl Body-centred cubic (BCC) refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have been studied as novel metallic systems for high-temperature applications due to their, for example, superior strength, excellent thermal stability, and oxidation resistance even at […]

Principal Investigators: Christian Brandl The development of novel materials for high-temperature applications also entails the knowledge of 1) the fundamental mechanisms responsible for materials mechanical behaviour and 2) how does the materials composition modify these mechanisms. The motion of these dislocations and the mutual interaction of dislocations amongst themselves and with impurities govern the macroscopic […]
