CIEFMA

ENTITY PROFILE
The Structural Integrity, Micromechanics and Materials Reliability Centre - CIEFMA is a UPC’s
consolidated research group aiming to conduct basic science and applied industrial research
within the field of Structural Integrity, Micromechanics and Reliability of Engineering Materials.
CIEFMA’s main core competences are defined by (1) its capability for successful assessment
and understanding of mechanical integrity and reliability of CIEFMA-target materials (zirconia-
base ceramics, stainless and high-strength steels, Ti-base alloys, ceramic-metal composites -
particularly cemented carbides - and hard coatings) at different length scales; and (2) its
potential for implementing advanced processing towards optimizing microstructural design
and/or functionality of specific material systems.Within the above framework, research
excellence and internationalization. UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH CENTRES
