Facilities

The Department of Metallurgy and Materials (DIMM-ESIQIE) has an important number of laboratories and facilities, which can be used by all the member of this institute. Some of the most important general laboratories are:


  • X-ray diffraction laboratory

  • Microscope laboratory (SEM, TEM, and AFM)

  • Thermal analysis laboratory (TGA, DTA, DSC and TMA)

  • Mechanical test laboratory,

  • Hydrometallurgy, among others.

  • Electrochemistry

Besides the above mentioned general laboratories, the Advanced Functional Ceramics Group has the following facilities:
