Laboratory Administrator: ANTHEMEDES Kon/nos (As. Professor)
The Materials Technology Laboratory forming in the Construction Sector since 2006, is growing more and more with the supply and installation of new modern machinery and equipment, for the training and practical training for students on subjects related with:
- Casting of metals, particularly aluminum alloys
- Cutting and preparation of mineral samples
- Observing the structure of the samples under a microscope
- Measuring the hardness of samples
- Resistance measurement of samples
for doing so, the proper equipment was supplied
Likewise the laboratory is equipped with:
- Furnace for melting metal
- Molds for blend casting
- Power cutter for cutting specimens
- Grinding machines for grinding of samples
- Microscopic observation of specimens
- Durometer for measuring the hardness of specimens
- Tensile machine to measure the tensile
it should be noted that, apart from education and practical training for students, the equipment is used especially for dissertation projects and research programs of the institution.
Educational Work
The Technology of Materials Workshop supports the educational work of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and covers the teaching of theoretical and laboratory of the following classes:
