Laboratory of Plastic Deformation Under High Pressure

Laboratory NL-1

Research topics

The Laboratory of Plastic Deformation Under High Pressure specializes in the plastic processing of materials, mainly solid metals and metal alloys, but also polymers and other materials, including powder materials.

For this purpose, it uses a globally unique high-pressure hydrostatic extrusion method, as well as other plastic deformation processes such as ECAP.

The laboratory uses a number of research methods to characterize the plastically processed materials. Mechanical properties are analyzed using static techniques (tensile, compression, and bending strength tests) as well as dynamic techniques (impact tests to determine resistance to brittle fracture). The microstructure of materials is analyzed using light, scanning, and electron microscopy, with an emphasis on testing the degree of structure refinement.

Due to its strong implementation potential, the laboratory also conducts quality and geometry tests on semi-finished products and finished prototypes using optical and contact profilometry techniques.
