Department of Metallic Materials
We provide teaching and programme development in the following areas:
- Materials science, physical metallurgy, solid state physics
- Structure and properties of metallic, non-metallic materials and composites
- Phase transformations, thermal and chemical-thermal processing of materials
- Structural and phase analysis of conventional and unconventional materials
- Material limit states, corrosion, material degradation and prediction of material lifetime
- Advanced materials, nanomaterials and materials for advanced technologies - materials for battery and hydrogen technologies
- Controlled hot plastic deformation and controlled cooling processes
- Development of functional forming technologies
- Improvement of mechanical, physical and structural properties, surface quality, geometric dimensions and product shapes during and after plastic deformation processes
- Mathematical description of the evolution of the structure and properties of materials
- Modelling and simulation of plastic deformation tooling processes for forming technologies
- Research on new forming methodologies
We conduct research in these areas and cooperate intensively with domestic and foreign research institutions and industrial partners.
