The Structural Metallurgy group conducts research focused on the formulation, elaboration and characterization of innovative and/or complex metallic materials, in particular their mechanical behavior, for structural applications. Our work is based on studies, essentially fundamental, on the genesis and evolution of microstructures, or on the end-of-life of alloys (recycling strategies), but often in close connection with targeted application fields, mainly in the fields of medical devices (dental, cardiovascular) and aeronautics.
Today, the development of our themes is supported by a large experimental park, enabling us to envisage a complete vertical integration and short-loop approach to the entire experimental chain, from design and elaboration to shaping and multi-scale characterization of new materials. Our philosophy, in this respect, is to be able to ensure the accelerated development of new advanced materials, in support of the rapid and recent emergence of combinatorial metallurgy.
