Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz – Instytut Metali Nieżelaznych

We offer comprehensive research, measurement, technological and implementation services, ranging from alloy composition design, through metallurgical processes, casting, plastic forming, heat treatment and surface treatment, to materials testing and the assessment of the properties of finished products for aluminium, magnesium, copper, zinc, tin and their alloys. Our Services: Products and Technologies: *Production of ingots, single-piece and short-run castings from alloys with a specified chemical composition, *Die casting, sand casting, semi-continuous and continuous casting, *Production of ingots for extrusion, rolling and forging, *Development of new alloys and materials for specialised applications, including the defence, aerospace, transport and energy sectors.  Research and Development Services: *Design of alloy chemical compositions, *Technologies for melting and refining molten metals, *Technologies for the recycling and recovery of non-ferrous metals, *Modelling and optimisation of casting processes, *Design of casting, plastic forming and heat treatment technologies, including for new products and industrial implementations, *Materials and technology consultancy. Testing: *Chemical composition, *Metallographic, *Mechanical testing, *Corrosion resistance testing, *Physical properties testing, *Non-destructive testing (NDT), *Quality testing of castings and extruded products. The scope of activities outlined above does not exhaust full capabilities of the Institute. The scope of research and technological work is tailored in each case to the client’s requirements and the specific nature of the project being conducted.
