KMM-VIN offers through its members integrated solutions (“from idea to ready product”) of new structural and functional materials processed via cutting edge technologies. Our novel integrated solutions comprise:
-
design of materials chemical composition, phase composition and structural models
-
verified and optimised materials technologies
-
complete characterisation of materials microstructure, properties and performance in service conditions
-
modelling of materials properties and behaviour under complex thermomechanical loading conditions and harsh environments

Our core competency lies in the following materials groups (abbreviated as KMM):
-
advanced ceramics
-
metals (including high temperature steels) and highly processed alloys
-
intermetallics and shape memory alloys
-
composites and functionally graded materials (ceramic-metal, ceramic-ceramic, metal-metal, ...) with fiber-, nano- or microparticle, or interpenetrating reinforcement
-
thick and thin layers (layered materials, coatings, surface modification)
-
biomaterials and bioinspired materials
-
joints of advanced materials
