Metallurgy, Mechanics, Structures & Solidification – 2MS
Welcome to the research team Metallurgy, Mechanic, Structures and Solidification at CEMEF, Mines Paris - PSL.
The activity is focused on forming processes by solidification. It covers processes, including fluid and solid mechanics, as well as microstructures. We strongly rely on numerical modeling but original experimental set-ups are also developed.
The main topics dealt with are
- Modeling of processes: additive manufacturing, casting, continuous casting and welding
- Liquid-solid and solid-solid phase transformations and microstructures
- Defects formed during solidification or as a consequence of the solidification processes
- Thermodynamic coupling and kinetics of phase transformations
- Characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior at very high temperature
Yours questions are welcome.
