Course detail

Engineering Materials - Selected Topics

FSI-0SVAcad. year: 2025/2026

The subject - with great space for questions and in more or less discussion form - sorts and complements informations given in parallel subject 3SV - Structure and properties of materials. Talk will be about:
- fase transformations during the heat treatment of metals and alloys
- structural materials (metals,ceramics, polymers and composites) - their chemical composition and technological treatment in relation to their crystallographic, sub-structural, structural, and mechanical properties
- degradation processes resulting from the practical application of these materials
- principles of selecting materials for engineering constructions.
