Abstract
The program focuses on material design based on the thermodynamics of materials, kinetics of various processes, phase transformations, microstructural development, methodology of synthesis and the characterization, synthesis and selection of materials. The goal of the program is to gain expertise and develop the theoretical basis along with the methodology of design, synthesis and processing and, finally, applying this knowledge as an engineering solution.
The majority of research work will focus on the constitution of metal alloys and composites, phase analysis, the construction of phase diagrams, the compatibility of composite constituents, internal oxidation of multi-phase alloys and composites, the synthesis of engineering alloys, low-melting point alloys, rapidly solidified shape memory alloys, chemo-thermal surface processing of metal and the micromechanics of multi-phase materials.
Significance for science
In a wider sense the contribution to a binary and ternary phase diagrams development, phase analysis and internal oxidation are important and respected also abroad. These achievements lead to an international cooperation in a field of internal oxidized and shape memory materials synthesis. In the frame of research programme following researches take place parallel: Solidification and constitution of metallic systems Development and control of microstructure with thermomechanical treatment Control of microstructure in multi component iron alloys Synthesis of shape memory alloys by melt spinning Internal oxidation of two-phase alloys and composites Micromechanics of materials (heterogeneous alloys and composites - modelling) Microstructure development and phase boundaries in explosion welding materials Production and improvement of semi-continuous and continuous casting of Al-alloys Synthesis of new alloys for automotive industry Thermomechanical treatment extrusion forming aluminium alloys Failure analysis of tools and machine elements Synthesis and characterization of low fusible alloys Synthesis and characterization of biocompatible materials Planning of environmental friendly materials, products and technologies Surface engineering
Significance for the country
The field of our group activity is also interested for some other programme groups that we collaborate with in specific areas. Results have influence in continual social and economical development within the pedagogical process on all levels of study, continuous presence in industry and cooperation with other institutions. Theoretical and experimental work of the group is tightly connected with engineering of materials. Successful and industrial applicable cooperation enabled the group to achieve a part of research equipment and its further exploitations for economy. We were successful in synthesis and treatment of aluminum and iron alloys (modification and microstructural development control), production of low-fusible and ecologically accepted alloys. We developed several auxiliary sources for casting industry, set the fundamentals and application for thermo mechanical treatment of aluminum alloys, made applicable the chemical and thermal treatment of cold formed steel products exposed to high thermal and mechanical loadings. With research and pedagogical work the group managed to connect following production technologies: process metallurgy, casting, forming, welding, powder metallurgy, heat treatment, surface engineering, nanotechnologies etc. The group is taking care of achieving new knowledge in one of the basic fields of engineering that is tightly connected with the natural science.
