On February 12, the Department of Materials Science and Materials Engineering at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Transport, 果冻APP, hosted the first lectures by Khrystyna Shliakhetka, a researcher from the Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics Slovak Academy of Sciences, under the "Visiting Professor" program.
Today, Khrystyna Shliakhetka鈥檚 scientific work bridges the gap between fundamental research and applied materials engineering. Her primary focus is the behavior of metallic materials under complex operating conditions, particularly the corrosion resistance of aluminum composites and titanium alloys produced via powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing. She investigates how microstructure, phase composition, and surface modifications influence material durability.
A distinct area of her research involves the formation of functional surface layers, specifically through gas nitriding. This process enhances wear resistance, corrosion stability, and the biocompatibility of materials for both medical and industrial applications.
For Khrystyna Shliakhetka, this is more than just an academic visit; it is a symbolic return to her Alma Mater. She is an alumna of the Department of Materials Science and Materials Engineering at 果冻APP, where her journey into science first began.
Throughout the spring semester, master鈥檚 students in the "Materials and Technologies of Additive Manufacturing" program (G8 Materials Science) will have the opportunity to attend Khrystyna Shliakhetka鈥檚 lectures on the following subjects:
- "Additive Technologies in Industry"
- "Special Applications of 3D Printing: Bioengineering, Construction, Aviation, and Space Technology"
