Department

Welcome to the website of our department

Department of Technology, Materials and Computer-Aided Technologies is part of the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University in Košice. At present, the teaching area at our department is focused on available conventional and progressive technologies for the production of components in mechanical engineering as well as on the use of CAx technologies in designing and optimizing production processes. The content of the subjects is the theory and technology of machining, sheet metal forming a bulk forming, plastics processing, welding and surface treatment.

 

The content of subjects includes design of technological processes, production technology, design and construction of the tools, experimental methods in engineering technology, progressive methods of product production, design and construction of the molds for plastic moldings, simulation of melt flow into the mold cavity, mechanization and production automation. Within the application of individual methods and designs in various technological processes, we use CAD/CAM/CAE systems, simulation programs such as PAM-STAMP, SolidCAM, Moldex 3D and others. Within our workplace, we develop or participate in research in the field of forming, welding, machining, plastics processing, surface treatment, thin layers and many others in order to support the industrial environment and ensure its sustainable economic development. We always try to be accommodating and open to possible opportunities for new cooperation. In case of any information, please contact us.

 ing welding

 


Graduates of the study programme Welding, joining and surface treatment are able to systematically and comprehensively solve practical tasks in the field of methods and technological procedures of welding, joining and surface treatment. They have knowledge of conventional as well as special welding technologies, alternative joining methods, surface pretreatments and surface treatments. They have knowledge in the field of technical materials, including progressive ones, their sleep during welding and heat treatment. They can analyze the quality of joints and surface using control methods. In addition, they can use information technology in solving the tasks of the department and also apply knowledge and skills in laboratory work. Graduates can work in engineering companies as technologists specializing in welding, respectively surface treatment, production coordinators, quality controllers, after completing the education also in the positions of welding engineers, resp. certified personnel in NDT, in the administration of pre-production stages, sales representatives and sellers of machinery and equipment. They can also be used as researchers in research and development centers, research institutes in the Slovak Republik, resp. abroad. The study program is highly topical due to Slovakias orientation towards automotive production, in which the methods of welding, joining and surface treatment belong to the dominant production technologies.

Erasmus scholarship for PhD studies, year 2024  

Ing. Samuel Vilkovský took part in a one-month Erasmus+ Traineeship at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, which broadened his knowledge with additional academic opportunities. Within the framework of the above-mentioned stay at this faculty, he also focused on future scientific cooperation with this university in the field of forming under the guidance of prof. Pepelnjak. He extended his previous knowledge in the field of simulation of forming processes by the possibilities of using Neural Network and Random Forest methods, which contributed to a new insight into new modern research techniques and methodologies. His further experience from his stay at the University of Ljubljana Mr. Ing. Vilkovský can be read by clicking on the link below.   

ERASMUS scholarship


RoadShow Sumitomo DEMAG 

On 21.05.2024 company Sumitomo DEMAG representatives visited the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of TUKE. This company presented cutting-edge solutions in the field of plastic injection moulding technology, including a real demonstration on an injection moulding machine. The presentation was intended for employees of the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering, as well as for students and representatives of various companies from KE and the surrounding area. With her expertise in the field of plastic injection moulding, she pointed out the latest trends, tools as well as functions and control panels showing the entire injection moulding process. One of the many features was an introduction to the so-called activeMeltControl function, which adapts the injection moulding process to changes in material (including regranulate), automatic pressure adjustment, or correction of moulding weight fluctuations.

Visit of Volvo Cars 

On 14.02.2024 Volvo Cars visited the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TUKE. They were interested in study programs oriented on the issue of automotive production, scientific and research activities and possibilities of further cooperation. There was a discussion about the possibility of applying our graduates within the company. A number of study programmes of our faculty offer a wide range of graduates who can find employment in the newly created company in Valaliky Industrial park. In the coming period, representatives of Volvo Cars will visit the laboratories and workplaces of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
