  • Material and Component Testing

    • MT I: tensile testing, hardness testing, dynamic testing

    • MT II: wedge test, Charpy impact test, chemical composition, physical properties

  • Non-destructive testing methods: radiographic testing (RT), radioscopy (RS), and computed tomography (CT)

Practical Part

  • Casting of components
  • Thermal analysis
  • Metallographic investigations
  • Mechanical strength testing
  • Computed tomography
