Overview

COMTES FHT a.s., a Czech privately owned research organization that pursues research and development (R&D) of advanced metals, non-metallic materials and methods and technologies for their processing. It also provides custom R&D services in the fields of computer modelling, software development, engineering design, manufacture of prototypes and specimens for testing, materials testing and elaborates expert reports on materials. In addition, the company contributes to educating young technical experts - students of Master's and Doctoral programs studying at partner universities in the Czech Republic (CZ) and abroad.

The research organization COMTES FHT was founded in 2000. COMTES FHT has successfully carried out and completed more than 40 R&D projects, including three projects of the EU Framework Programmes. The success of this research organization in applying its R&D results is evidenced by the authorship of dozens of proven technologies, thirteen patents (including two foreign ones) and more than twenty… Multifunctional Two-High/Four-High Rolling Mill - Custom-built rolling stand technology with many accessory equipment - heating furnaces and inductors, cooling tunnel and quenching bath for rapid cooling, shears, straightening bench, grinding machine – it enables more cost effective thermo-mechanical treatment of materials and controlled cooling. For material rolling under heat and cold conditions; verification of new rolling processes for materials.

Universal Forming Machine - Tailor-made machine, it offers a wide range of forming parameters (2,500 tons max. force), furnished with special equipment, e.g. manipulator, servo-hydraulic system allowing working ram stroke control. For free and die forging with; experimental verification of forging and press processes.

Vacuum Melting Furnace - : Equipment of capacity 10-50 l for production of new materials with re-alloying capability and heat analysis. The maximum mass of small steel melts for casting can reach up to 500 kg. Casting metallic materials;…. COMTES FHT a.s. since its establishment has been offering services in development of forming processes and heat treatment processes for metallic materials, materials research, technology transfer, innovation, testing and consultancy. The results are disseminated through scientific publications, utilized in projects of collaborative research which promise application potential, and in contract research. The research efforts at the centre are therefore of mixed nature. The core fields of activity of this organization comprise basic research, applied research and development using the organization’s own experimental and computing facilities. These include the newly-built physical simulation and numerical modelling laboratories, mechanical testing shops, metallographic, heat treating and forming, and engineering design laboratories. Examples of R&D areas are stated below:

R&D and optimisation of forming processes, and heat and thermomechanical treatment – through experiments conducted with the aid of a…. Yes. service.
