Research Area

The department is focused on three main scientific-research topics (i) development of advanced, econo-mically and environmentally friendly high strength sintered steels for automotive industry with the aim to define optimal chemical conception and technological parameters for achievement high static and fatigue properties, (ii) preparation, compaction and correlation of relation among processing, microstructure and properties of composite powder systems with utilization of image analysis, stereology and statistics, (iii)  research of macro and micro-gradient sintered materials with non-traditional elastic-plastic properties and an increase of cutting properties of PM tool steels with application of multi- and nanocomposite coatings by advanced PVD technologies.
Research substance is a study of thermal activation of chemical and physical interactions during microstructure formation, theoretical calculations and modelling of their physical-metallurgical substance and experimental verification of predicted data.
The department has an active international cooperation, it starts solution of the project in the frame of OPVaV programme and by multilateral project it collaborates with world powder producer Höganäs AB Sweden.

Methods
