Services provided by the Department of Materials Forming in cooperation with the Regional Material Science and Technology Research Center include e.g.:
- Simulation and optimization of thermal processing (even in vacuum) and bulk forming processes
- Development of the continuous cooling transformation diagrams even after previous deformation (CCT vs. DCCT)
- Development of the hot flow stress models (based on the uniaxial compression tests)
- Testing of hot formability (uniaxial tension, SICO)
- Determination of the nil-strength temperature and nil-ductility temperature
- Processing maps and formability maps constructed for the metallic materials
- Structural and mechanical properties influenced by intense plastic deformation and controlled cooling
- Wedge rolling tests with evaluation of the results based on the computer image analysis
- Relaxation tests and study of the softening processes
- Determination of hot yield stress of various alloys
- Physical simulation of continuous casting (study of cracking)
- Defined rolling of the as-cast samples with the structure refinement
- Study of the material flow at hot rolling
- Measurement and evaluation of the temperature fields
