In the above-mentioned fields the division draws on long years of experience in structural and phase analysis and computer-aided thermodynamic simulation of phase transformations. In the field of mechanical properties, the division focuses on damage analysis and analysis of the interrelations between structure and useful properties of tested materials.

The excellence of the pedagogical staff, in combination with long-term cooperation with industrial partners, enables us to provide top-quality specialized qualification courses in the subjects of metallographics, structural and phase analysis and the mechanical testing and nondestructive testing of materials.
