Technological and technical services

The scope of activity of the Department of Advanced Material Technologies focuses on many technological aspects covering the entire cycle of the materials production process, in particular in the field of:

• melting and casting process of non-ferrous metals and their alloys, 
• plastic processing (extrusion, rolling, drawing), 
• unit and continuous galvanizing, 
• design and production of new alloys and composites, 
• additive technologies (3D printing in metal), 
• producing materials for certified reference materials, 
• waste recycling.
