ABSTRACT

The project entitled “Research and implementation station for the development of technology for the production of cermet shapes using the energy-saving sintering method for the production of tools and machine parts” consists in equipping the Łukasiewicz-WIT research infrastructure with a modern research and implementation station (ETS Station) for the development of energy-saving and effective cermet sintering technologies.

The scope of the investment includes:

1. Purchase of functional components of the Material Preparation Unit, i.e.: glove box, 50L vacuum dryer, powder fume hood/laminar chamber, analytical balance for weighing powders, press with force regulation/measurement, high-energy planetary mill with accessories, mixer working in Shatz geometry, granulator for metal powders, high-speed centrifugal-planetary mixer, industrial vacuum cleaner for powders, powder particle size analyzer, tables with exhaust with a filtration system, set of equipment for batch preparation, powder sifter.
2. Purchase of components of the functional material preparation unit along with the integration of functional units of the ETS research station, i.e.: a vacuum-pressure sintering furnace with a batch structure and a technological atmosphere installation, a process control and monitoring unit,
3. Purchase of elements of the Materials Design, Materials Analysis, Measurement and Control Team, i.e.: laboratory furniture, a scale for determining apparent density, a device for testing abrasive wear of materials according to the ASTM b611/g65 standard or a draft standard, a workshop grinder with exhaust, an electro-spark cutting machine, a surface grinder with exhaust, a warehouse trolley for transporting powders and sinters and a storage desk, a set of elements of the measuring system of a bending testing machine, an ultrasonic washer, an automatic grinding-polishing machine, equipment for determining the bulk density of powders, a stereoscopic microscope, software and databases for designing the properties of sinters.
