New NCN-funded research project – Dr Jacek Skiba as project leader
We are very pleased to announce that Dr Jacek Skiba, an employee of our High Pressure Plasticity Laboratory, has become the manager of a new research project funded by the National Science Centre within the OPUS 28 competition. Project title: ‘Development of a method...
Effect of HE on the mechanical properties of PLA and PLA composites with diatomaceous earth printed by fused deposition modelling
We co-authored a paper on improving the mechanical properties of 3D printed polylactide (PLA) composites by using diatomaceous earth as a filler and cold hydrostatic extrusion. The results show that with these methods it is possible to almost double the compressive...
Mini-symposium Bioabsorbable in Krakow
A visit to the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow took place on February 21-22, 2025. The visit was held within the framework of the mini-symposium Bioabsorbable zinc-based materials for bone implants and...
New publication with our co-authorship!
We contributed to an article on precision machining of pure zinc miniature tubes using electrical discharge machining (EDM). The research showed that EDM process parameters have a key influence on the microstructure, surface quality and mechanical properties of the...
Article on the effect of hydrostatuc extrusion on pure copper for use as electrodes
Jacek in the journal Scientific Reports presented an analysis of the effect of plastic deformation using hydrostatic extrusion (HE) on the structural, mechanical and functional properties of pure copper for use as electrodes in in the process of electro discharge...
Next article in Scientific Reports
We have been cooperating with the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering in Krakow for many years now, and through this cooperation we have achieved interesting results, which we publish successively. Now Mariusz is co-author of the publication by Łukasz...
Article in Scientific Reports
Jacek investigated the effect of the hydrostatic extrusion (HE) process on the machinability of Ti grade 2 (Ti) in the turning process. He published his findings in a high quality scientific journal with IF= 5.516. Read more:...
Article on anisotropy in copper alloys
Sylwia has already dealt with the phenomenon of anisotropy after a hydrostatic extrusion process during her PhD. She has now decided to share her knowledge of anisotropy in CuCrZr copper alloys. We invite you to read more:...
Scientific cooperation between UNIGE and UNIPRESS
We like new challenges and interesting projects, and we recently received an interesting proposal to collaborate with the University of Geneva. We look forward to many years of collaboration and many publications from our work together. We will certainly brag about it.
New articles at Materials
We have been writing a lot of articles recently. Mariusz Kulczyk boasts an article on the effect of plastic strain rate on mechanical and structural properties in pure zinc. In addition, we are collaborating with the Warsaw University of Technology, specifically with...
