KUKAREKO Vladimir Arkadyevich,
Chief of the Center of Structural Research and Tribo-Mechanical Testing of Materials and Mechanical Engineering Products,
D. Sc. in Phys. and Math., Professor
About the Center
- The center is accredited for compliance with the requirements of STB ISO/IEC 17025 as a testing center in the field of testing the mechanical properties and research of materials structure and mechanical engineering products (certificate No. BY/112 02.1.0.1670 dated from May 3, 2010, the period of validity is up to May 3, 2030).
- The Center analyzes the structure, phase composition, and determination of the mechanical and tribotechnical properties of structural materials (including at high temperatures) and reinforced layers for thermal power engineering, chemical engineering, construction, and other equipment.
- The Center is equipped with a complex of modern research devices and testing machines, which can be used for research on the structure and tribomechanical properties of machine-building materials, certification tests of materials and analysis of the causes of their destruction.
Types of tests
- Static tensile testing, including at elevated temperatures. Temperature range up to 1100 °C
