It comprises 2 research engineers and 6 senior technicians affiliated with the various LGF teams. Using unique equipment, the MSM platform develops activities focused on the development of:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>metal alloys for industrial metallurgical issues;<\/li>\n<li>ceramics and multimaterials through rapid sintering processes (microwaves);<\/li>\n<li>composites via liquid processing (resin infusion) and biocomposites based on flax fibres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In support of the MSM platform, there is a chemical analysis service to identify the composition of metal alloys, as well as a metallography service with facilities for sample preparation and observation by optical microscopy.<\/p>\n<p>MSM thus supports the study of the in-service properties of materials for the benefit of LGF teams.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;
