On the basis of the CFC for Magnetometric Equipment at the Institute of Geophysics, a unique laboratory of rock magnetism and paleomagnetism has been founded in Ukraine, based on the magnetic station in the village of Demydiv, located 30 km north of Kyiv. On the territory of the station (its area is about 7 hectares), in addition to the main building, which houses the measuring equipment, there are three pavilions and a warehouse. The territory and buildings are under 24-hour security. The location of the station minimizes the impact of electromagnetic and microseismic interference on the measuring equipment, which is typical for large cities (in particular, Kyiv).

E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS of Ukraine

The “GLEEBLE – 3800” installation is a high-tech complex that allows for physical simulation of welding processes, processes of hot deformation of metals such as forging, rolling, and drawing, and also allows for the simulation of heat treatment of metals with various heating and cooling rates. Hot compression and tensile tests can be performed at either constant or varying force values during the experiment. The temperature and heating rate of the sample can also be varied depending on the experimental task. The maximum short-term compressive force can be 20 metric tons, and the tensile force can be 10 metric tons. The maximum process temperature during such experiments can be 2000ºС. Such experiments give the possibility to determine the degree of deformation depending on the applied force. Hot deformation tests along one direction can be carried out on two different mobile blocks. The universal unit “Gleeble System” is used to simulate physical processes in the case of “simple” compression or stretching. For example, “Sico Test” allows for determining the parameters of the hot metal compression process, which makes it possible for hot cracks to occur during forging or metal precipitation. The “Hydrawedge” unit is used to simulate hot forging. Unlike the “Gleeble System” unit, it has two movable pistons, which allows in some cases to achieve deformation of more than 70% of the initial length of the sample. The presence of two movable pistons also opens the possibility to simulate the processes of high-speed rolling of metals and determine the value of the stress on the rolls and the degree of their deformation. The maximum deformation rate can be 1, and the maximum number of impacts is 19. Максимальна швидкість деформації може дорівнювати 1, а максимальна кількість ударів 19. (яка одиниця вимірювання?)
