NAME Tenperatura altuan, materialen konformazio, tratamendu eta portaera-unitatea

DESCRIPTION

Unitateak beroko materialak konformatzeko prozesuak optimizatzearekin eta mugako zerbitzu-baldintzetan portaera hobetzearekin lotutako beharrei erantzuten die. Unitatearen gaitasun nagusien artean honako hauek nabarmentzen dira: altzairuen eta beste material metaliko batzuen prozesamendu termomekanikoa eta konformazio-sekuentzien definizioa, konposizio kimikoaren eta ekoizpen-lerroaren ezaugarrien arabera. Mikroegitura-kontrola. Akatsak ezabatzea. Amaierako propietate mekanikoak optimizatzea. Tratamendu termikoak. Prozesu- eta material-ereduak (komertzialak eta propioak). Materialen arteko elkarrekintza: difusio bidezko lotura, soldadura, material disimilarrak. Zerbitzuko portaera: isurpen geldoarekiko erresistentzia (creep), oxidazioa, neke termomekanikoa, degradazio- eta hutsegite-mekanismoak. "Ad-hoc" saiakuntzak garatzea.
