Materials science
Students are familiarized with the properties and behaviour of various materials under different stresses right at the beginning of their studies. This theoretical knowledge is intensified in the accompanying laboratories by means of self-acquired experience in carrying out appropriate laboratory tests.
The materials science department has a wide range of equipment for general materials testing and damage analysis. This includes machines for metallographic preparation, microscopy (up to approx. 1000x magnification), hardness testing (Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Shore), Charpy impact testing (300J) as well as tensile and compression testing.
The materials science laboratory has the following materials testing equipment, among others
- MFL up to 100kN (modernized with Zwick control) INSTRON tensile testing machine up to 30kN MFL notch impact hammer 300J modernized with digital data acquisition (contactor and light) INNOVATEST Falcon 500 for hardness testing according to Brinell & Vickers DIA TESTOR 2Rc for hardness testing according to Rockwell PROCEQ Equotip 2 mobile hardness tester KERN analog hardness testers for polymers, Elastomers and natural rubber according to Shore A & D Devices for metallographic preparation of STRUERS (cutting, embedding, grinding/polishing) MICRO MEASUREMENTS RS-200 Drill hole device and accessories for determining residual stress depth profiles using the drill hole method
