Company / Institution introduction:
The Dresden Lab of Fraunhofer IFAM is involved in the development of new sintering and composite materials as well as innovative powder metallurgical technologies. We offer services ranging from material testing as an accredited lab up to the development and fabrication of prototype-like systems. Particular experience is available in the fields of:
• High-temperature materials and powder metallurgical (PM) special materials
• Hydrogen storage materials and systems
• Rapid solidification of metallic materials
• Metal-matrix-composite materials (MMC)
• Highly porous metals (fibre metallurgy, hollow sphere structures)
• PM composites (materials compounds) and gradient materials
• Tribological studies and development of PM materials

Products / Services on display at HANNOVER MESSE 2009:
• hydride developing & testing
• material evaluation related to degradation, long-term and cycle stability, recycling
• material testing in prototype-like storage tank systems
• safety & reliability tests
• small series production
