Laboratory of Excellence
Design of Alloy Metals for low-mass Structures
Labex DAMAS brings together scientists from IJL and LEM3 specialized in the field of metallurgy. It was approved in 2012 within the framework of the "Investment in the Future" action of the French government to develop excellence in fundamental research in metallurgy in Lorraine.
About us
LEM3
Laboratory of study of microstructures, mechanics and material sciences
LEM3 is a research laboratory specializing in the mechanics of materials and processes. It is a Joint research unit attached to the University of Lorraine, CNRS UMR 7239 and Arts et Métiers. Its experimental and theoretical activities are transdisciplinary, combining solid mechanics, metallurgy, materials science, chemistry and physics. LEM3 employs around 250 people, including more than 80 doctoral and post-doctoral students, mainly based in Metz - France.
