MATERIALS

Characterization of ceramic materials and their state of conservation.

Corrosion and protection of metallic materials

• Corrosion inhibition of metallic materials (iron, aluminum, magnesium, copper alloys,) in electrolyte solutions 

• Corrosion inhibition of concrete reinforcement structures

• Corrosion and protection of bronzes of artistic interest. 

• Corrosion of metal matrix and ceramic matrix composite materials

• Corrosion and tribocorrosion of ceramic coatings 

• Electrochemical characterization of advanced ceramics. 

Metallurgy

• Microstructural and mechanical characterization of foundry aluminum alloys.

• Mechanical characterization of shape memory NiTi alloys. 

• Study of the tribological behavior of coatings and metal alloys.

• Mechanical and microstructural characterization of high strength Nb-V microalloyed steels (HSLA).Mechanical and microstructural characterization of duplex steel welded joints.

• Chemical and microstructural characterization of metal artifacts of archaeological and historical-artistic interest.
