Materials and Metallurgy Engineering (ID2M)<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

The research carried out by the Materials Engineering and Metallurgy<\/strong> team (ID2M)<\/strong> focuses on the development and characterization of materials at the chemical, structural and mechanical levels, as well as their behavioral analysis in real-life situations, at different scales (atomic, nanoscopic, microscopic, mesoscopic, macroscopic) in close relation to applications.<\/p>\n

The team currently comprises 8 researchers and teacher-researchers, plus 15 non-permanent staff (PhD students, post-docs and ATERs). Team members are based at two sites (Lombarderie and Chantrerie). Under a partnership agreement, one team member works half-time at IMN and the other half-time atUniversit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel<\/a>. Research within the team is divided into two themes directly related to structural materials: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Metallic materials<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Natural materials and the environment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The team’s research focuses on the design and development of materials and the study of their properties from an academic perspective with a view to industrial applications. The aim is to find ways of improving the properties of materials by modifying their elaboration processes and induced microstructures. This research is based on a fundamental understanding of the evolution of materials, fine-tuned experimental methods and the development of models and numerical simulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>
