My laboratory consists of four teams And a team of structural metallurgy which I belong. The latter has two main lines of research:

first is devoted to the determination by experimental method, of ternary phase diagrams. These diagrams include iron, carbon and a transition element, known to improve the mechanical or chemical properties of the iron-based alloys.

Four ternary diagrams and a pseudo ternary are published (FeVC, FeCuC, FeNbC and FeTaC (FeTiC diagram has been established and will be published soon) and a pseudo-ternary FeCrNbC).

The second one is to study metallic materials especially iron base alloys. Specimens studied by my team are generally quaternary or quinary alloys, containing carbon and two or three transition

elements such as V, Ti, Nb, Mo,W and Cr. These elements are known to be strong carbides forming elements. The particles, called carbides of transition elements, can control and optimize the mechanical and electrochemical (corrosion) properties and induce different microstructures.

The primary goal, of our research, is to examine accurately the carbides formed during solidification (composition,

crystallographic structure, morphology…). The second one is to explain the solidification behavior of these types of alloys and to propose cristallization paths for

each of them in the absence of quaternary and quinary phase diagrams.
