At our research and development center, we are dedicated to advancing technologies in hot and cold forming, with a primary focus on the production of semi-products. In both processes, we emphasize the controlled modification of material properties through mechanical and thermomechanical means, recognizing that shaping materials goes beyond mere geometry. Our approach integrates computed modeling-based process design with rigorous mechanical and microstructural examinations of base materials/products, crucial for shaping processes.
