Course detail

Metallic Materials

FSI-WKMAcad. year: 2024/2025

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.

Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (ÚMVI)

Entry knowledge

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.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active participation in lessons. Successful completion of control tests regarding the presented topics. The exam has a written and an oral part. The written part is focused on six of the main topics presented in the lectures. In the oral part of the exam a student answers additional and complementary questions.
Attendance at lectures and seminars is compulsory. Absence from seminars may be compensated by the agreement with the teacher.

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