ABSTRACT
The project entitled “Expanding the research potential of Łukasiewicz-WIT in the field of manufacturing, characterization and quality control of surface layers for the needs of the aviation, chemical and energy industries” involves the creation of a modern and innovative research and development base at Łukasiewicz-WIT.
The scope of the investment includes:
– systems for plasma spraying of ceramic, cermet and metal alloy coatings and, in the long term, for producing coatings from high-entropy metal alloys (including nuclear power),
– a stand for induction heating technology on a scale enabling the implementation of entrepreneurs’ orders, as well as in the long term, coupling with plasma spraying technologies to modify the structure and properties of coatings made of high-entropy alloys,
– extension of the functionality of currently used surface characterization methods with the purchase of a new device for profile analysis of the chemical composition of surface layers,
– defectoscopic system for quality control of produced layers and coatings.
The scope of the investment includes the purchase of:
– automated high-power induction heater,
– mobile workshop crane,
– laboratory vacuum furnace,
– equipment for the station for making exciters,
– software for designing the induction heating process,
– ion thinners and polishers,
– chemical composition analyzer using the GDOES method,
– automatic high-power precision cutter,
– expansion of the X-ray diffractometer,
– retrofitting of the Raman spectroscope,
– cylindrical grinders,
– advanced device for non-destructive testing using the eddy current method,
– complete plasma spraying system.
Duration:
01/05/2024 – 31/12/2025
