1. Attending in seminars:

- M.Sc. Eng. Lukasz Rogal: „Technologia tiksoformowania wybranych stopow zelaza i aluminium w aspekcie ich struktury i wlasciwosci”;
- M.Sc. Eng. Michal Spisak: „Nanoskalowa funkcjonalizacja powierzchni materialow porowatych pod zasiedlanie komorkowe”;
- Professor Henryk Paul: ‘Instability of plastic flow and their role in texture transformations in fcc metals’ (third meeting);
- Associate Professor Jerzy Morgiel: 'Development, characterization and properties of composites produced with nano-materials'(second and third meeting);
- Associate Professor Marek Faryna: ‘Correlation between ceramics microstructure and functional properties’ (second and third meeting).

2. Continues of the training of using the scanning electron microscope for creating maps orientation (EBSD).

3. Training of using the circular saw.

4. Preparing the article: ‘Nucleation in Recristallization of fine-grained structure of aluminium alloy’ (for SIM 2011 conference) based on own research and articles:
- H. Jazaeri, F.J. Humphreys, The transition from discontinuous to continuous recrystallization in some aluminium alloys I – the deformed state, Acta Materialia 52 (2004) 3239–3250;
- H. Jazaeri, F.J. Humphreys, The transition from discontinuous to continuous recrystallization in some aluminium alloys II – the deformed state, Acta Materialia 52 (2004) 3251–3262;
- G.H. Zahid, Y. Huang, P.B. Prangnell, Microstructure and texture evolution during annealing a cryogenic-SPD processed Al-alloy with a nanoscale lamellar HAGB grain structure, Acta Materialia 57 (2009) 3509–3521.

5. Research

- Preparation of samples for observation in scanning electron microscope - the electrolytic-polishing by A2 reagent (test SEM / EBSD) and etching in order to observe the microstructure (for SEM);
- Preparation of the orientation maps of samples of aluminum after ECAP and recrystallization (T = 270 ° C and t = 1min, 0min.) using the EBSD / SEM – the works with other parameters than before (step 50 nm);
- Observations of the microstructure in the scanning electron microscope samples of aluminum after ECAP and recrystallization (T = 270 ° C and t = 1min, 0min.);
- Pressed by the curved channel angular (ECAP) samples of aluminum alloy (AA1050 and 3004) with dimensions 10x10x70mm using a testing machine INSTRON 3382. Samples pressed 2 -, 4 -, 6 - and 10-times using different routes between each test;
- Pressed by the curved channel angular (ECAP) samples of aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Zr). Samples pressed once and then cut to the small samples with dimensions of 10x10x3mm by the circular saw and by the wire saw - and each of these samples will be subjected to another heat treatment (search for the appropriate temperature and time);
- Assisting in the round tensile specimens at elevated temperatures (400° C) on the testing machine INSTRON 6025.
