The course is a follow-up to the course in physics where students deepen their knowledge of the physics of electro technology. The course is meant for metallurgists and those studying materials science and provides theoretical knowledge on electro technology used at work, i.e. electrical measurements, electrochemistry and electrothermics.
Metallurgy, as one of the oldest technologies, has significantly characterised the development of human civilisation. During archaeological excavations in Slovenia, which lies on the crossroads of different civilisations, various metal objects were found, proving that metals have been important to man since ancient times. These excavations reveal fragments from the social life of people and ... Read more
The course provides knowledge on the causes, mechanisms and ways of material destruction due to environmental impacts or combination with other impacts. Students learn how to fight corrosion, which causes enormous damage to the economy and presents risks to humans as well as the integrity of man-made products. The course includes various mathematical examples that ... Read more
This course provides knowledge of joining materials by welding and welding-related techniques and their significance for the industry. Emphasis is placed on the physical and chemical aspects as well as the metallurgical processes that occur during welding in filler material, molten drop, and the melt. By the end of the course, students will understand the ... Read more
Goals: understanding particular casting techniques: cold chamber and hot chamber die casting, low-pressure casting, precision casting and thixo casting. Students understand the laws of flow in the elements of pouring and feeding system in filling in hollows under pressure and learn the basic foundry alloys for the aforementioned techniques.
