Non-Ferrous Metals Department
Departmental profile:
The Non-Ferrous Metals and Alloys Department deals with the basic and applied research associated with the production and application technologies of the products of non-ferrous metals and their alloys. The subject of the research predominantly comprises aluminium, copper and magnesium alloys for applications in electrical engineering, electronics, transport machine industry and civil engineering. The research activity is focused on utilization and maintenance of the links between the structure, properties and technologies.

As for the technologies, what is in question is not only production technologies but also technological procedures for the users of products of non-ferrous metals which can significantly influence the utility properties of the final product. It involves mainly structure evaluation (light and electron microscopy) and the assessment of the mechanical and fatigue properties (universal test machinery).
In addition to the research activity, the Centre provides – in the area of non-ferrous metals and their alloys – material analyses, analyses of the process issues and material-related accidents, development of technologies and optimization of technological procedure parameters (extrusion molding, rolling, forging, casting), utilization and comparison of the domestic and foreign material specifications and standards, and counseling in the above-mentioned fields.
