Third mission
The group has always interfaced with the industrial fabric of Friuli and beyond, sharing its expertise and providing support in research and production activities. In particular, the research group, with its wealth of expertise and the presence of laboratories with advanced research equipment, is able to provide rapid answers, consistent with the needs of companies, on various topics. Some examples of activities carried out range from failure analysis, routine/quality control analysis according to standards (ASTM, UNI, DIN, etc.), optimisation of production processes, contract work and applied research. Some of the activities performed are listed below:
Examples of company support activities
- Microstructural and metallographic characterisation of different types of metals;
- Grain size analysis;
- Inclusional analysis;
- Optimisation of heat treatments;
- Mechanical testing (tensile, fatigue and fracture mechanics);
- Hardness and microhardness testing;
- Surface texture analysis;
- Profilometric and bulk chemical analysis;
- Phase analysis;
- Crystallographic analysis;
- Corrosion behaviour analysis of coated and uncoated materials;
- Durability testing;
- Evaluation of mechanical properties, durability of coated systems;
- Etc....
