High-temperature structural alloys

Development of metallic materials capable of operating under demanding thermal and mechanical conditions. This research direction is relevant to aero-engines, turbine components and other extreme-environment structural applications.

Refractory alloys and superalloys

Design of advanced high-temperature alloy systems based on refractory metals and superalloy concepts. The aim is to explore next-generation materials with improved thermal stability, structural stability and high-temperature performance.

Lightweight alloy design

Development o structural alloys with improved specific properties, where reduced density, mechanical performance and high-temperature capability are considered together. This direction is particularly relevant to aerospace structures, unmanned aerial systems and energy-efficient engineering applications.

Phase stability and phase transformations

Investigation of how phases form, transform and remain stable during processing, heat treatment and high-temperature exposure. Understanding phase stability is essential for designing alloys that can retain their desired structures and properties during service.

Microstructural evolution

Study of how microstructures develop and change under thermal, mechanical and environmental conditions. This includes grain structures, precipitates, phase distributions and other microstructural features that control material performance.
