Research Areas and Collaboration Possibilities

Project | 01

Thermomechanical Processing

​The Materials-DNA Laboratory is actively advancing the development of comprehensive processing windows for advanced structural materials, incorporating strain rate sensitivity (SRS) maps, efficiency maps, instability maps, and creep maps. This effort aims to establish robust process–structure–property correlations that enable precise control over material behavior under diverse operating conditions. The research is being carried out through active collaborations with leading institutes and research laboratories. Rigorous validation of these processing maps is achieved through in-depth microstructural and crystallographic texture analysis, systematically correlated with the resulting mechanical and physical properties. This integrated approach provides critical insights for optimizing processing parameters and designing high-performance materials for demanding engineering applications.

Materials Characterization

With its diverse and advanced characterization capabilities, the laboratory enables researchers to develop expertise across a wide range of techniques, including SEM, EBSD (2D and 3D), TEM (120 kV and 300 kV), XRD, and VSM. Researchers within the group possess complementary experience in these tools, fostering a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. Currently, through strategic collaborations with leading laboratories, the facility provides opportunities for comprehensive characterization of materials, including detailed analysis of microstructural features, crystallographic texture, and elemental distribution in metals, alloys, intermetallics, and metallic glasses. This integrated approach facilitates a deeper understanding of structure–property relationships essential for advanced materials design.

Mechanical and Physical Properties of Materials

The major thrust of property evaluation in the laboratory focuses on the systematic investigation of tensile, compressive, and torsional behavior of materials, with particular emphasis on the role of microstructural features and crystallographic texture. The research aims to establish clear structure–property relationships by tailoring microstructure and texture through controlled processing. In addition, significant efforts are directed toward understanding the influence of temperature on microstructural evolution and texture development, enabling insights into material performance under varying thermal conditions.
