Course detail

Structure and Properties of Metallic Materials

FSI-9SVKAcad. year: 2022/2023

The course Metal Materials familiarises students with advanced structural and tool metallic materials which are used in mechanical engineering nowadays. Lessons are focused on relationships between the chemical composition, properties, structure of material, and its use. The course deals also with titanium alloys and other nonferrous alloys (copper, aluminium, magnesium etc.), superconductive materials and superalloys etc.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

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

Prerequisites

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 research applications.

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.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The written part is focused on four of the main topics presented in the lectures. In the oral part of the exam a doctor answers additional and complementary questions.
