• Modern methods and techniques of laser beam processing

Currently, the technological peak in the field of materials processing is represented by laser technology that ensures the continuous development of welding, deposition, heat treatment, ablation processes but also by micro-processing or laser vapor-condensation of various materials. Laser welding allows obtaining heterogeneous joints of metallic materials, such as carbon steel - stainless steel, aluminum - copper, but also of hybrid joints of the polymer - metal type.

• Laser and metal powder deposition technology

By using this deposition technique, composite layers with high mechanical characteristics can be made, which can be used to create new surfaces or to recondition used components. The deposits are based on nickel or cobalt, highly alloyed with Cr, B, Si, Mn, Ti or WC, which gives them a remarkable resistance to corrosion and wear. The use of this new technology aims at laser reconditioning of molds, tools or asphalt milling teeth.

• Technologies and installations for field welding of mechanical oscillations and other innovative technologies

New technologies and installations for field welding of mechanical oscillations have been successfully developed and patented, which allow to reduce the susceptibility to cracking of welded joints. At the same time, we are developing technologies for the nitrocarbonation of materials and devices for determining the wear resistance of thermochemically treated layers. The equipment of the centre allows the experimental research of the flame metallization process (Castodyn DS 8000), with the help of which coatings are obtained with anti-corrosive and / or anti-wear layers of large parts. The improvement of the process, respectively of the quality of the deposited layers was achieved by developing and patenting innovative technology of metallization with flame in electrostatic field.

Recently, numerous new recipes for brazing or welding materials have been developed, such as: amorphous alloy for brazing CuP10 - Mn0,5 - Ni1 / FH10, hard wire for loading Ei Cr2,5W4,5V La and tubular wire for reconditioning St 17Cr4WTi .

• Ecological technologies for obtaining polymeric materials, processing / recovery of secondary raw materials from polymer waste and advanced adsorption / treatment technologies for toxic emissions from industrial processes

Technologies with a low ecological footprint have been developed for obtaining polymer-based materials (including films and coatings) with high mechanical performance and high resistance to the action of environmental factors (humidity, microorganisms, temperature variations, UV radiation, etc.). The materials developed within the research centre were used as protective materials, sound and thermal insulation materials, ecological adhesives, impregnant and adsorbent materials for pollutants in industrial wastewater, sensors and as devices for controlled release of active principles.

 New processes have been developed for the separation (coloristic and using magnetic fluid) of household polymeric waste and those from industrial activities and procedures have been developed for their recovery and integration into new value-added products.

New powders and hybrid metal-ceramic coatings have been developed by thermal spraying and the sol-gel method for advanced photocatalysis treatment of pollutant-laden air resulting from industrial processes and pollutants from industrial wastewater.
