Three technology areas

Metals and surface engineering

Research and expert studies on steels and non-ferrous metal alloys, particularly for the automotive and energy industries.

  • analysis of structural material properties
  • corrosion testing and anti-corrosion protection
  • technologies for regeneration of machine parts
  • surface engineering, including thermal spraying

Biomaterials and technologies for medicine

Research on biomaterials for orthopaedics and dentistry, carried out, among others, in cooperation with the Medical University of Lublin.

  • surface modification of metallic biomaterials
  • research on non-metallic materials for dentistry
  • analysis of biological and functional properties

The work responds to market demand, especially from SMEs, for technologies and materials with high biocompatibility.

Composites and fibre laminates

Design, manufacturing and testing of the properties of composite materials for advanced structures.
