- Research Institute
The ÖGI is a non-university, non-profit research organisation aiming to increase the fundamental understanding of materials and processes related to castings and light weight design. Major research effort is on the characterisation of materials related to their processing route. The Institute is involved in space research activities regarding accredited materials testing at low and high temperatures.
Technologies and competences
Recently, the ÖGI was involved in sebveral FP7, Horizon 2020 and ESA-projects. The contribution of the Institute was and is the thermal, electrical and structural characterisation of aircraft and space materials (e.g. titanium alloy, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, silicon carbide and
carbon fibre reinforced plastics)
