Micro- and nanomechanical testing of superalloys at high temperatures (A06)

• Subject Area: Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials and their Microstructural Origins
• Term: from 2012 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 190389738

In this project micro- and nanomechanical testing approaches are used to study the local mechanical properties of Ni and Co-base superalloys. In the third funding period especially the creep properties of local inhomogeneities and coatings are studied with indentation creep testing and micro-tensile creep tests.
