Manufacturing–Morphology–Property (MMP) Relationships: Concept and Application to Component Surfaces

Manufacturing–Morphology–Property Relationships (MMP) is a broadly applicable concept that has been pioneered, applied, and successfully validated in the research carried out in CRC 926. MMPs combine the complex relationships between the component manufacturing, the component’s morphology, and the component’s behavior into a single coherent concept. Hereby, they address two fundamental problems of mechanical engineering: How can a component with desired properties be designed, and how can it be manufactured?
