Blasting and Coating Laboratory (M74-A_139)

Responsible person: doc. Ing. Dagmar Draganovská, PhD.

Location: Mäsiarska 74

Focus of the laboratory

The laboratory focuses on research in the field of surface pretreatment by blasting and on the assessment of abrasive wear of materials. The laboratory contains equipment used for scientific and research activities in basic and applied research, as well as for the solution of final bachelor, master and doctoral theses in the department. The professional focus of the laboratory: creation of blasted surfaces by different types of blasting agents in terms of material base - metallic or non-metallic as well as in terms of shape - sharp-edged or spherical blasting agent, evaluation of abrasive wear of abrasion-resistant materials, coatings and coatings, determination of stress ratios of materials after blasting by Almen test, evaluation of the roughening effect of blasting agents, evaluation of the abrasion-resistant properties of functional coatings.

Laboratory equipment

pneumatic blasting equipment, type TJVP - 320 and Di - 1 equipment for the evaluation of abrasive wear of abrasion resistant materials, coatings and coatings

Other equipment of the laboratory is the possibility of applying powder coatings in an electrostatic field, the application of organic coatings by spraying and the Airless Spraying Machine - Wagner W400SE.
