Students acquire methodology for the development of new products based on market analysis or potential customer demands, i.e. different technological pathways in manufacturing products by considering environmental, ecological and economic factors. Topics include: definition and interpretation of market needs, i.e. a product with specific dimensions and properties and anticipated quantity of products, elaboration of ideas ... Read more
The course primarily discusses welding procedures. Students acquire knowledge about equipment and different welding methods, i.e. basic welding procedures, pressure welding, adding auxiliary materials for welding and weldability, which are basic elements for appropriate selection of the welding method and operations in joining and refining of steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and their alloys, plastic ...

The main procedure in making and processing metal materials is heat treatment of steels and alloys of non-ferrous metals. A controlled process of heat treatment leads to the formation of microstructures that define mechanical and technological properties of semi-products and final products. The goal of the course is to acquire theoretical foundations of structural changes ... Read more
Goals: The student gets insight into numerous procedures of plastic forming and can evaluate them in terms of technological, economic and environmental factors. Students acquire basic knowledge about forming machines and tools. Using integral calculus, the student can define the loads acting on forming machines and tools for bulk and sheet forming. The topics of ... Read more
Students acquire knowledge on the technology of making castings: making moulds, moulds and cores, pouring and feeding systems, melting and charge composition, melting furnaces, analysing and testing of melts, control procedures, designing castings by computer simulated mould filling, solidification and shrinkage and stress conditions. Students acquire knowledge on the technology of pressure, precision and centrifugal ... Read more
The course is divided into two parts: (a) production and preparation of a melt and (b) casting (a final product). The first part aims at acquiring skills for independent preparation of a test, thus developing student’s own initiative and ability for developing a technological process. The course also provides guidelines for safe work and relevant ... Read more
