The research goals for the research area are:
- Using modern materials and technologies in the process based indusrties and power engineering
- Research with aim to extend the expected lifetime of machinery parts.
- Surface protection for concatct materials using convetional and novel surface modification procedures
- Testing the influence of thermal processing, treatments and heat related operating conditions on metal wear resistance in different friction and use conditions
Aimed at minimizing the negative environmental effects and improving the technological state, research is focused on reducing the impact of production processes on the nevironment using the LCA method in the early stages of product developement and production. Application of quantitative methods for recyclability verification and the recyclability level of new technologies, products and services are investigated. By utilizing eco-economic product analysis models, different methods for EE waste managament are investigated with main goal of energy saving and emissions reduction.
This multidisciplinary research area can also provide complementary solutions with different research areas such as: renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, applied numerical computing in electrical engineering. These cooperations have important influence on developing new technologies, skills and knowledge for selecting and protecting materials used in the "for the environment" setting in different indusrtries.
