The sector was formed by restructuring from the laboratory of magnetic pulse technologies on June 1, 2026.
At the present time, the sector carries out research of foundations for control of the structure and properties of steels and alloys under the effect of strong magnetic fields aimed at plastic deformation by magnetic-pulse treatment in order to carry out forming and hardening technological processes for obtaining metal products for various purposes and the tool with high performance characteristics
LABORATORY ACTIVITIES
Research of regularities of high-speed plastic flow and fracture of structural materials under the effect of strong pulsed magnetic fields;
Research of magnetic-pulse sheet stamping processes, obtaining permanent joints including dissimilar materials, formation-baking of metal powders;
Electric-vibroimpulsive materials treatment, including its use during pile foundations erection in building;
Development of scientific foundations and mechanisms for structure and properties control of steels and non-ferrous metals by combined high-energy methods (magnetic-pulse, ion-plasma, laser, others) in order to increase wear-resistance of metal products (tools for various fields of industry and machine-building and aircraft parts, manufactured from various alloys).

DEVELOPMENTS / RESEARCHES
Research of various modes of electromagnetic field effect on the structure and physical and mechanical characteristics of steels and alloys of non-ferrous metals.
Development of highly-efficient technological hardening processes of steels using magnetic-pulse effect.
Development of highly-efficient technological processes to perform:
cutting and punching of sheet metallic (copper, aluminum, magnesium and their alloys) and non-metallic materials without using conventional die tooling;
molding, expansion, embossing, calibration and shallow drawing of parts from copper and aluminum alloys;
swaging, bulging, molding, cutting, deflanging, expansion, making of permanent and flexible joints on items made of tubular billets;
crimping of cable lugs, wires and cables;
electrodischarge forming of metallic powders; magnetic-pulse presswork;
electrohydropulse forming of flares in grounds and boreholes for bored piles and anchors.
Forming of powder materials:
a high degree of compaction of a material due to pulse pressing;
changing in a certain manner penetrability of filtering elements in a direction of filtration;
forming of complex-shaped long items with a big ratio between a length and a cross dimension;
die forging of porous billets without using of die tooling;
high purity of a filtering material in terms of extraneous impurities due to absence of a plasticizing agent, a pore agent, etc. in a fusion mixture;
low steel and labor intensity of production of tool equipment.
