J-Tech focuses on joining technologies. Its mission is to develop advanced assembly techniques of the materials, to obtain joints with superior properties compared to traditional ones, enabling the production of smart, durable, and reliable components. The related activities include coatings, materials characterization, and the quality control of the joints by means of destructive and non-destructive tests. The presence of prestigious equipment and the combination of skills make the Centre a unicum in Italy, which aims to become a national and international benchmark for both industry and research.
Goals
- Reduce the energy and environmental impact of industrial processes
- Bridge the national gap in joining technology expertise
The J-Tech Interdepartmental Centre leverages the DJ-LAB@POLITO Infrastructure, which supports the industrial sector in developing innovative joining methods and materials for structural applications across various mechanical fields.
Technology & Research Infrastructures include facilities, resources, and services used by the scientific community to carry out cutting-edge research and foster innovation.
