Processing, Mechanical Properties and Forming


The Processing and Mechanical Properties research group, called PROMECO, develops its research work on issues related to mechanical properties (creep, superplasticity and deformation mechanisms), processing, forming and manufacturing (forging, rolling, extrusion, friction stir, additive manufacturing , torsion, and modelling), and microstructural characterization (optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, texture and microtexture) of advanced high value added metallic materials.
