Materials science and processing technologies

The "Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science" department was established on 02.03.2016 by merging the "Mechanical Engineering and Material Processing" and "Materials Science and Materials Technology" departments. (order No.04 -151.03.02.2016). 

“The department of "Machine building and material processing" was established in 2005 by merging the departments of "Machine building technology" and "Hydraulic machines and hydraulic transmissions", and the head of the department was appointed professor A.M. Rahimov. 

"Machine building technology" department was established in 1930. In the first years of its establishment, he started to train an engineer-mechanic on cutting and processing of metals in the machine-building department of the mechanical faculty of the institute. Since the end of 1945, it has started training specialists in petroleum engineering technology. The first director of the department was I.S. Guxman, and then associate professor F.M. Yaroshevich. From 1951 to 1982, the department was headed by professor A.J. Mustafayev.

During the years 1982-2004, the department was headed by professor S.G. Babayev. During the years 2004-2016, professor A.M. Rahimov, Assoc. Kh.M. Heydarov, Assoc. R.Kh. Malikov led. Since the establishment of the department, specialist technologists have been trained in mechanical engineering. Since 1962, the department has started accepting post-graduate students in full-time and part-time departments in the field of "Machine-building technology" and 17 people have defended their dissertations to receive the scientific title of candidate of sciences. 

"Materials Science and Materials Technology" department has been operating since 1921 under the name "Metals Technology". Professor N.Y. Bulakh (1921-1938), associate professor I.I. Ilovayski (1938-1944), associate professor Nemet Bey Shakhtakhtinsky (1944-1954), associate professor N.M. Yerivanli (1954-1959), associate professor M. Amebov (1959-1976), associate professor S.B. Bunyatov (1976-1984), professor S.M. Mustafayev (1984-2005), associate professor S.H. Gasimov (2005-2010), associate professor H.H. Eldarzade (2011-2016) were in charge. Since 1988, the department has been called the "Materials Science and Technology of Materials" department, since bachelor's and master's training in the specialty of materials science has been conducted in the department. 

Since its establishment, the "Mechanical engineering and materials science" department has conducted bachelor's and master's training in "Recycling and recovery technology" engineering, "Energy engineering" engineering, and "Materials science" engineering specialties.

From May 27, 2021, the name of the department was changed and the department was called "Material science and processing technologies". Currently, the department is conducting bachelor's programs in "Materials engineering", "Materials science", "Recycling and recovery technology" engineering and "Energy engineering" engineering specialties.

During the last five years, from 2018 to 2023, two PhD dissertations in the field of "Materials technology" were successfully defended in the department - a doctor of philosophy in the field of technical science and a doctor of science in the field of technical science. Currently, one science in the field of technical science is defended in the department his doctoral dissertation is about to be defended, four doctoral students and one doctoral student are working on their scientific works. Employees of the department published 78 articles in various indexed scientific-technical journals included in WoS and Scopus databases.

The department has 2 professors, 9 assistant professors, 5 associate professors. teacher, 3 teachers and 5 teaching assistants work. Since May 2016, the department has been joined by an associate professor, technic. Tahir Oaffar oglu Jabbarov is in charge.

Head of the department - Tahir Oaffar oglu Jabbarov.

Information about specialties in the department 

Bachelor's degree in one specialty and master's degree in three specialties are conducted at the "Materials Science and Processing Technologies" department.

Bachelor's training is conducted on the specialty 050623-"Production of materials".

Master's training is conducted on the specialties "Recycling and recovery technology engineering", "Energy engineering engineering", "Material science engineering". These specialties were created in 2009. 060601- "Materials science engineering, 060646- "Recycling and recovery technology engineering, 060610- Power engineering engineering specialties are engaged in staff training at master higher education levels based on the nomenclature of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan. 

Personnel training in the engineering specialty "Recycling and recovery technology" To learn in a scientific and practical way the solutions to the application of technologies, processes, equipment used in ensuring the structural reliability of the construction details of the equipment, machines and machine systems, and their parts used in the design stage of the oil and machine building industry provides the training of knowledgeable specialists. 

In personnel training for the "Energy engineering engineering" specialty, knowledge is given in the direction of the training of specialists capable of knowing the theoretical and practical knowledge in studying the characteristics of energy devices, equipment and their individual details used in the oil-engineering industry.

 The "Materials engineering" specialty teaches the structure and properties of materials used for construction purposes, methods of improving these structures and properties depending on the purpose of the materials, and the improvement of technological processes applied to increase the efficiency of production processes in enterprises that produce products and constructions.

Information about laboratories operating under the department

"Hydraulic machines and hydraulic components", "Mechanical processing", "Tribology", "Materials technology" and "Materials science" are included in the base of the department for the purpose of high-level assimilation of the teaching of general professional and specialized subjects taught by the "Materials science and processing technologies" department. Thermal processing" teaching laboratories were established. All these laboratories have been established since the establishment of the department and have been provided with new laboratory equipment from time to time in order to ensure the quality of teaching and compliance with modern technical requirements.

Since 2016, the scientific research laboratory "Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies" has been operating under the department, and since 2017, the "IXUN" laser center has been operating.

In 1997, the "Equipment Reliability" scientific-research problem laboratory was established in the department, and today research works are carried out together with the "Geotechnological problems of oil, gas and chemistry" scientific-research institute and the "IXUN" laser center operating under the "ASSU" PHSH. takes.

During the period of 2020-2025, on the basis of the ETI plan, scientific-research works are carried out in the department on the topic "Application of fuzzy approach methods and structural phase state formation methods in the restoration of metallurgical tools and optimization of complex microalloying".
