3DLAB: fine structure analysis

The University of Miskolc caters particularly to the vehicle and automotive industry and the metal processing sector, leveraging its researchers’ competencies and world-class infrastructure to address production problems, procurer complaints, and failure cases. Our expertise spans microstructure-related issues in components or products, encompassing base material considerations and operational challenges.
