Research summary
AI-generated

Carolin Fink's research focuses on metallurgy and materials science, particularly how welding, additive manufacturing, and rapid cooling processes affect the internal structure and performance of metals and alloys. Her work examines issues like corrosion, cracking, and embrittlement in stainless steels, high-entropy alloys, and specialty alloys used in demanding applications such as nuclear and subsea equipment. This research helps inform how metal components are manufactured and joined so they resist failure in harsh environments.
