Course detail

Structure and Properties of Metallic Materials

FSI-9SVKAcad. year: 2024/2025

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.

Entry knowledge

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.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

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.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide doctors with knowledge necessary to choose and use constructional and tool materials in order to reach utility properties.
Successful completion of the course will enable doctors to choose the right materials and use them in practice.
