The research of the Institute of production technologies is oriented to the industrial technologies with respect to research and development in the sphere of high-tech technologies. The main fields of the industrial technologies on the Institute of production technologies are: machining, forming, foundry and welding.
Key directions of scientific research activity of the Institute of production technologies are focused on the support of the development of individual science and educational branches. It is safeguards to the responsibilities for the special growth of workers. The attention is devoted first to the actual and perspective questions related with industrial technologies in conditions of SR, at which are made provision for international trends as well as the integration processes to EU. Mark of scientific research work and activity are determined with originality of scientific orientation of the teachers and scientific research workers, material supply of main workstations and of the solution of scientific and socially best known questions of social work. The Institute of production technologies is oriented to the trans-regional own pedagogic and scientific activity in many aspects, cooperates and enlarging the co-operation with the more renowned scientific research institutes abroad. International co-operation in research is implemented mainly with the change of information, results, knowledge for education of PhD students (fellowships, educational visits, workshops).
The scientific directions of main workstations are determined to the long time and covered the production and technologiecal aspects of exploitation of all resources and solutions of the actual questions in a given branches. The lay of projects is oriented mostly to the production technologies in co-operation with industrial practice on the basic of actual global problems.
Center of sphere of the scientific research are:
Production and controlling of components with complex form and strict surface.
Numerical simulation and optimalization of production in surface and volume forming of the metallic materials - prediction of formability.
Modification of surface of the stainless steel with plasma discharge in electrolyte.
Art casting.
Classical and special method of joining, cutting metallic and non-metallic materials.
Tribology and surface engineering.
All important and original results are presented in our institute on the seminars and conferences at home and abroad, are published in reviewed or non-reviewed scientific journals and in the professional journals.
The results from the research activity are transferred to the educational process within the subjects also the solution of bachelor, diploma and PhD works.
