Advanced in situ and ex situ characterization

 

We use advanced ex situ and in situ methods, e.g. HR-TEM, synchrotron and neutron diffraction, for the characterization of the materials. We have developed sophisticated experimental setups with which we can mimic beam-based additive manufacturing (AM) conditions with small material quantities. We apply in situ charactertechniques such as optical emission spectroscopy or high-speed imaging for a better understanding of laser-based manufacturing processes.
