Topics/Research and Teaching Profile

Welcome to the Chair of Materials Science! We combine the fundamentals of materials science with cutting-edge engineering applications. In our research and teaching, we focus intensively on modern methods of materials and component testing, as well as mechanical, thermal and thermochemical surface treatment processes. Our aim is to provide students with practical training and to develop practical solutions in collaboration with industry partners. Discover our range of courses, our laboratories, current research projects and the people behind the Chair.
