This work shows that the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator can be used to carry out controlled material tests. Although originally the simulator was not designed for testing materials in the semi-solid state, it could be adapted to such tests with only minor changes based on the construction of a special chamber for material heating and moulds for material shaping. To achieve this, a special resistance heating system was developed and installed in the Gleeble simulator. The design of a heating chamber that allows uniform heating of the material was achieved by computer simulations. The numerical model of the resistance heating developed and the results of calculations are described in detail.
