Entry knowledge

The material science and physical metalurgy in the extent lectured duering the passed study, with rlationship to physics, hydromechanics and mathematics

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

To acquire a credit, a student should to take part at all of the seminars and laboratory works, his active approach to the study and all of the written protocols refering, especialy with respect to the knowledge of their meaning. Eventualy absence should be compensated with the aditional work on base of the teachers compliance. The examination is take placed in written and verb noun form. A student should show a good overwiew and some detail knowledge of the topics examined.
The seminars and laboratory works are obligatory. In case of the absence, it is necessary to compensate the theme after the teacher compliance. In case of the absence which is planed (some serious family merits f.eg.), it is necessary to agree the matter with the teacher beforehand

Aims

The aim of the subject is to acquaint the students with the basic forms of technigues, media, equipment and other means used in current plants of heat treatment. The task of the subject is to reach of fully understanding of heat treatment importance for machinery production, and acquisition of basic production procedures.
The subject brings to the students a basic knowledge of heat and chemical-heat treatment of the ferous and non ferous alloys and a basic overwiew of the used plants and media.
