The researchers at Plastic Deformation Department (PDD) are working in different scientific researches related to metal forming processes which include first designing of new alloys for certain purposes from chemistry and thermomechanical process point of views followed by dilatation studies and physical simulations of hot deformation, heat treatments, and thermomechanical processing by using Gleeble 3500 machine which is available in the department. The other researchers’ studies are design of hot deformation regime for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys as well as cold rolling regimes followed by annealing to adjust texture orientation. There are different research groups in Plastic Deformation Department who are involved and distinguished in developing deformed advanced steel alloys such as Dual Phase, Multi-Phase, TRIP, Armox, and Quenching and Partitioning steels for industrial applications. They also are interested in mechanical testing evaluation, Abbott Fire stone curves for surface roughness and microstructure, damping capacity for non-ferrous alloys such as Ti and Mg which are used as medical implants, and failure analysis of carbon steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
