MagIC - Magnesium Innovations Centre

The main focus of the research in MagIC is the development of magnesium-based materials for diverse applications, for example in the transport and medical engineering sectors. Special emphasis is placed on alloy development and on the optimisation of existing and new processing technologies. Science-based fundamental research and practice-oriented investigations are necessary in order to produce magnesium materials with the optimum spectrum of properties for specific service applications. For this purpose, MagIC has established competencies and the appropriate equipment. The centre is currently organised into three research groups for research and development of magnesium materials.

Magnesium Processing


Wrought Magnesium Alloys


Corrosion and Surface Technology


Metal powder injection moulding of Ti, TiAl and Mg alloys materials for complex biocompatible implants for medical technology and for high-performance components in the automotive and engineering sector (Dept. Powder Technology).
