Research Area

The activity of scientific department is focused on the fundamental research of the formation and development of the microstructure of steels, especially on defining the influence of the microstructure and the chemical composition on strength, plastic and fracture properties; the prediction and determination of the service life and reliability of materials under actual operational conditions. It contributes to the theory of strength, plastic and fracture properties of mono- and multi-phased steels, including the gradient type (coated) steels. On the present the main object of the research of scientific department is focused on the development of a novel low carbon ultra-high strength steel sheets as well as on the investigation of possibilities for improvements of the relationship between strength - ductility - fatigue resistance, including utilization of the surface engineering technologies.

Cooperation

The cooperation with the practice is, in general, focused on the application of physical-metallurgical knowledge for optimatization of production procedures and technologies in the production of steel sheets and the heat treatment of products in the following areas:

  • Structural microalloyed and dual phase steels
  • Coated steels for the automotive industry, including the most progressive types of developed steels

Work within the above-mentioned areas is mainly intended for U.S. Steel Košice, s.r.o.
