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
