Unité Matériaux et Transformations (UMET)

The “Métallurgie Physique et Génie des matériaux” team of UMET has a strong expertise on the observations and understanding of Liquid Metal Embritlement (LME) phenomena (I. Proriol Serre and J-B. Vogt) as well as study of microstructure of metallic alloys and plastic deformation accommodation investigated by TEM and by AFM. UMET has access by the “Chevreul Institute” to characterization tools adapted to multiscale studies (SEM, MET, ToF-SIMS, XPS, FIB).

Procédés et Ingénierie en Mécanique et Matériaux (PIMM)

The PIMM team has a strong expertise in the field of Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) both on the experimental side (mechanical properties, TEM, SEM, FIB) and on multi-scale modelling for mechanical properties (mesoscale and atomic scale calculations).

Institut de Chimie et des Matériaux Paris Est (ICMPE)

The microscopy team has a strong expertise in TEM and multi-scale material’s characterization. ICMPE is a reference center for TEM in materials science and specifically in in-situ TEM experiments. Furthermore, Loïc Perrière is specialist for the elaboration of metallic alloys.

Laboratoire de mécanique Paris-Saclay (LMPS)

The LMPS (before MSSMAT - Laboratoire de Mécanique des Sols, Structures et Matériaux) team has a strong expertise in in-situ SEM mechanical tests and FIB related research. The FIB is located in MSSMAT and is part of the EQUIPEX Matmeca Platform. Each one of the teams has expertise in in-situ mechanical experiments and has contributed to the Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) subject in recent years.
