Course detail

Metallic Materials

FSI-WKMAcad. year: 2015/2016

The course Metal Materials familiarises students with constructional and tool metal materials which are used in mechanical engineering nowadays. Lessons are focused on relations among the chemical composition, properties, structure of material, and its use. The course deals also with titan alloys, superconductive materials and superalloys etc.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Successful completion of the course will enable students to choose the right materials and use them in practice.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to have general knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry acquired at secondary school. They should have the basic knowledge of technological processes of iron and non-iron metals and their alloys, i.e. basic knowledge of metallurgy, foundry, welding, cutting, forming and heat treatment of metals and alloys.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active participation in lessons. Successful completion of control tests regarding the presented topics, while at least one control test has to be classified better than “F” (re-sit terms will be set by the teacher by the end of the exam period). The exam has a written and an oral part. The written part is focused on four of the main topics presented in the lectures. In the oral part of the exam a student answers additional and complementary questions.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge necessary to choose and use constructional and tool materials in order to reach utility properties. The course is a follow-up to the following courses: "Introduction to Material Science", "Structure and Properties of Materials" and "Non- ferrous Materials". It is intended to deepen and widen the acquired knowledge in the area of engineering applications.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at seminars is compulsory, as well as working our a written assignment. Absence from seminars may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.

Recommended optional programme components
