The Institute has a number of well-equipped laboratories, which allows to operate at various levels of the process of research and technological innovation. The “Facilities” section of the website offers a complete and detailed tour of these valuable resources.
In addition to this, ICMATE wants to propose a journey that, from week to week, will lead to the discovery of its vast technology park.


This week's featured laboratories

Part of laboratories is dedicated to muffles and furnaces for high temperature treatments, by which it is possible to carry out treatments both in static air in controlled atmosphere, under a stream of inert or reactive gas or in vacuum.
The furnaces have both cubic chamber (for treatments in static air) or tubular, which are more suitable for treatments in inert flux gas or vacuum or reactive (e.g. H2 containing atmosphere).

The treatments can be performed on a wide range of materials, except for reactive, flammable or explosive compounds. The furnaces can accomodate powders or solids that go to occupy at most the volume of a cube of side 7 cm.
The maximum temperatures reached are 1200 ° C and 1650 ° C with ovens cubic chamber, while 1600 ° C for tubular chamber.
