General description: The student enhances their knowledge of microstructure and its influence on the properties of metals and alloys. They are introduced to the basic concepts of alloy constitution and the principles governing the formation of specific alloy systems. They become proficient in reading phase diagrams, enabling them to understand and interpret observed microstructures. Through ... Read more
Increased prices of fossil fuels and the demand of the European Union for Slovenia to fulfil the quota of 20% energy production from renewable or alternative sources make geothermal energy a relevant energy source for Slovenia. Unfortunately, the earth heat flow in Slovenia is only close to the world average. Availability of geothermal energy in ... Read more
