Guided by the Leibniz credo “theoria cum praxi,” our research aims to establish a continuous development chain for metallic materials used in structural, functional, and biomedical applications. Customized material design, in combination with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies – including specialized casting methods, laser-based additive manufacturing, and tailored metal-forming techniques – enables the deliberate adjustment of the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of the metals and alloys under study. The core of this work is the deep understanding of the processing–microstructure–property relationship supported by comprehensive, scale-bridging characterization.
