Training center
Personnel instruction and training
As specialists in applied magnetohydrodynamics and creators behind unique technologies and devices, we instruct and train blue-collar and engineering-technical personnel at industrial enterprises on applying, implementing, operating and maintaining electrotechnological equipment, as well as on modeling, design and automation.
Higher education
On the initiative of the company's employees, in 1995, a department of "Electrotechnology and Electrical Engineering" was organized at KSTU (since 2006, the Polytechnic Institute of Siberian Federal University) (since 2020, "Electrical Engineering"). Currently, in partnership with the Polytechnic Institute of Siberian Federal University, our specialists participate in personnel training in the following areas: 13.03.02 "Electric Power Industry and Electrical Engineering" (bachelor's degree, profile Electrotechnologies and profile Electric Drive), 13.04.02.07 "Electrotechnologies in Metallurgy" (master's degree), 2.4.2 "Electrotechnical Complexes and Systems" (postgraduate studies). Over the years of joint work, more than 1000 specialists, more than 20 Candidates of Sciences, and 4 Doctors of Sciences have been trained. Details…
Scientific and educational events
The company has repeatedly initiated and organized international scientific and educational events in cooperation with leading global specialists and research centers in applying electrotechnologies and applied magnetohydrodynamics.
Electrotechnological laboratory
MHD Processes Laboratory
On September 15, 2016, as part of the international scientific and educational school "Electrotechnologies in Metallurgy," a training laboratory for physical MHD process modeling in metallurgy was opened. The laboratory allows conducting specialized research on MHD phenomena in various metallurgical devices, is equipped with a modern digital measurement system for electrophysical quantities and visualization, as well as a special measuring complex for ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV Technics) applied to liquid metal flow.
Small-scale production
Promising developments, before mass introduction into industry, undergo testing and debugging at the pilot-industrial site of LLC "RPC MHD". In particular, this site carries out small-scale production of original laboratory, pilot-industrial and industrial equipment.
At the laboratory and training center, special training courses and consultations are conducted for operational and engineering personnel of industrial enterprises.
Testing laboratory at the production site
The testing laboratory allows conducting mechanical tests, chemical composition analysis and metallographic studies using the following equipment:
- Optical emission spectrometer S5 Solaris CCD Plus GNR NordThe spectrometer is equipped with an open spark stand able to analyze non-standard shape samples, both small and large (up to 20 kg).
The spectrometer is calibrated for all aluminum alloy groups and ensures operation in all possible standard working ranges on an Al basis. The company has European-origin standard samples, ensuring high convergence in analysis results. - Universal testing machine Metrotest REM-A-20-1-2
The REM-20-A testing machine is equipped with an automated control system for mechanical testing processes. It allows static tensile and compression tests to determine mechanical properties for materials with a breaking load up to 20 kN. - Inverted metallographic microscope MAGUS METAL V700
The microscope allows studying microstructures in metals, alloys and other opaque objects weighing up to 2 kg in reflected light using brightfield and polarized light methods, as well as digitizing observations thanks to two independent visualization channels. - Metal science specialists
