Team of materials Science and non-ferrous metals engineering

Description
The Non-Ferrous Metals and Materials Science and Engineering Team conducts scientific research in the field of materials science and engineering of non-ferrous metals. The research tasks are focused on fundamental research related to the analysis of the microstructure and mechanical properties of non-ferrous metal alloys, as well as applied research with a particular emphasis on the manufacturing technologies of metallic, coating, powder, and composite materials. The team conducts scientific and research and development work in the following areas: - materials science research focused on the relationship between the microstructure of materials and their properties, in the context of optimizing the microstructure, controlling properties, designing, and manufacturing new materials. The team uses advanced research methods to describe material structures, such as light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, - cognitive materials science research on the introduction of new composite, coating, and powder materials, as well as metallic nanomaterials for the needs of the non-ferrous metals industry, - studies related to phase transformations, heat treatment, and thermo-mechanical treatment of non-ferrous metal alloys, - synthesis of materials using powder metallurgy techniques in an atmosphere of argon or hydrogen, - production of single crystals of Zn, Cu, and Al using the Bridgman method, - modeling of mechanical properties and structure during the plastic deformation processes of metals with the use of computer assistance.
