Prof. Marcin Leonowicz
The team specializes in shaping the structure and microstructure of structural and functional materials.
In particular, additive technologies and their impact on the structure and properties of materials, mainly magnetically active ones, are developed. The team's work also includes issues of closedloop economy of magnetic materials. In addition, research is conducted on nonNewtonian fluids.
The range of metallic materials under study covers a wide spectrum of materials including magnetically hard and soft alloys, magnetic nanostructures in applications for targeted therapy and shearthickening fluids. Technological methods include 3D printing processes, rapid solidification methods, mechanical alloy synthesis and hydrogen methods in application to rare earth alloys.
In the area of 3D printing, activities include alloy design, along with alloy fabrication, and a complete technological sequence, including obtaining powders by ultrasonic atomization, 3D printing, and a full range of characterization of structure, microstructure and properties.
