The University of Miskolc caters particularly to the vehicle and automotive industry and the metal processing sector, leveraging its researchers’ competencies and world-class infrastructure to address production problems, procurer complaints, and failure cases. Our expertise spans microstructure-related issues in components or products, encompassing base material considerations and operational challenges.
COMPETENCIES:
- Chemical analytic examinations, thermal analysis examinations (TG DSC)
- Microstructural light and electron microscope (P FIB, SEM) examinations with EDX analysis in 2 and 3 dimensions
- X-ray diffraction phase analysis
- Mechanical material examinations
- Computer tomography (CT) examinations
- X-ray diffraction examinations at both room temperature and elevated temperatures
- X-ray diffraction residual stress measurements (laboratory and industrial on-site measurements)
- Crystallographic anisotropy examinations (TEM -ASTAR, EBSD, XRD, ODF)
- Virtual element method (VEM) and cellular automaton simulations for metal forming and heat treatment processes
- Semi-industrial alloy production, continuous casting, rolling, heat treatments
- Computed image analysis in both 2 and 3 dimensions
SERVICES:
- Comparative examinations, revealing root causes in production for products assessed as “go” and “no go”
