The Department of
FCS has a developed research infrastructure, which includes scientific
laboratories:
- Metallographies
(optical microscopes NEOPHOT-32,
MIM-8, MIM-7, ORIM-1, BIOLAM-M, grinding and polishing machines PSHSK-2, fume cupboard);
- Radiographs
(X-ray diffractometer DRON-3,
installation for X-ray diffraction analysis URS-55, X-ray cameras RKD-57, KROS, etc.);
- Electron
microscopy (scanning electron microscope with energy dispersion microanalysis
system REM-106I, vacuum universal post VUP-5M);
- Heat
treatment (muffle and shaft furnaces for annealing, hardening and tempering of
steels and alloys, tanks for hardening in liquid media);
- Laser
surface hardening of materials (quantum optical generator GOS-1001, laser LGN-208, device for
measuring the average power and energy of laser radiation IMO-3, calorimetric meter
ICT-1);
- Smelting
of alloys and hardening from a liquid state (vacuum electric furnace SShVE-1.15 / 25, electric
furnace SNOL-2,
laboratory installation for production of fast-hardened alloys);
- Production
of polymer composite materials (hydraulic press TY 10003 TORIN and syringe
press for production of PKM samples by methods of compression pressing and
injection molding, respectively; molds of different sizes);
- Mechanical
tests (devices for measuring the hardness of TB-5004, TK-2, TKS-1M and micro
hardness PMT-3; rupture machine P5; pendulum digger MK-0.4; machines KVP-1000,
UKI-10M, MChM-600, MIP -8K for testing materials for fatigue strength);
- Determination
of tribological characteristics (disk friction machine; SMC-2 installation for
research of friction coefficient, temperature in the contact zone and wear of
materials; Heckert installation for research of abrasive wear);
- Easurement
of thermophysical properties (devices for determining the specific heat of
IT-S-400 and thermal conductivity of IT-λ-400; equipment for measuring the density of
materials, magnetic and electrical properties; analytical scales);
- Computer
modeling of processes of formation of structure and properties of materials
(Intel Pentium IV PC; software products; source data bank).
The availability
of scientific equipment variety allows a comprehensive research of the
materials structure and properties at the modern world level.
