Metals and their alloys

The development of theoretical ideas about the structure and properties of composite materials based on the application of a systematic approach and the introduction of mathematical methods for describing and modeling the processes of structure formation. Creation of a new generation of composite materials for structural and tribotechnical purposes with an increased range of physical and mechanical characteristics based on the widespread use of nanotechnology achievements, synergistic effects of interaction between structural components and self-organizing processes of structure formation. Applied activities of the laboratory The laboratory can offer developments in the field of new structural materials designed for friction pairs for various purposes (sliding bearings, rolling bearings, dry friction, friction with lubrication, etc.), in particular for aluminum matrix dispersed-filled composite materials with improved tribotechnical characteristics (contact strength, wear resistance, fatigue strength, etc.).

The Materials Diagnostics laboratory has a set of analytical equipment available for spectral analysis methods, analysis of light elements, analysis of the structure and phase composition of materials, and impact tests.
