The course is a follow up to the course on pyrometallurgy of iron and alloys and covers steel as well as non-ferrous metals. Students practise modelling of major pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes of metal extraction. During laboratory practicals, students acquire experimental methods and techniques for characterisation of refractory materials and different sand mixtures that are ... Read more
Goals: acquiring knowledge about major mechanical and engineering testing methods used in laboratories or industrial scale. Students acquire theoretical foundations for each testing method and through practical work and exercises become autonomous for performing and evaluating tests.
Goals: acquiring methodology for planning forming technologies for manufacturing final metallurgical products with target properties, while considering forming properties of the material, operational characteristics of machines and equipment and conducting material through such processes. Students acquire knowledge about different possibilities of forming technologies in view of quality assurance and economicity of the process used as ... Read more
Goals: ability to apply computer models for performing numerical analyses of materials, products or processes by applying the finite element method (FEM). Students understand theoretical foundations of FEM and are able to determine the geometry of definition domains, carry out space and time discretisation of the problem, prescribe mechanical and thermal boundary conditions, select appropriate ...

Thermodynamic practicum is a follow up to the course in Thermodynamics of materials where students practise “in-situ” all major testing methods of thermodynamics and materials kinetics. Students acquire skills for independent work in laboratories and handling experimental and analytical equipment.
Goals: acquiring knowledge about laws on thermodynamics that are fundamental for engineers in materials and metallurgy science to understand physical and chemical processes occurring in materials and their production technologies. Students understand thermodynamic laws, fundamentals of thermodynamics in liquid and solid solutions, chemical and phase equilibria in materials, fundamentals of kinetics and electrochemistry. Theory is ... Read more
In this course, emphasis is placed on those chapters of continuum mechanics that deal with the relation between stresses and strains as a consequence of matter-specific properties of materials. From the displacement fields, students learn to calculate the deformation tensor and then define the stress tensor depending on elastic, plastic and viscous properties of materials. ... Read more
Goals: acquiring basic concepts in multivariable function analysis and partial differential equations. Through exercises, students practise skills in derivation and integration of functions with two or three variables and solve partial differential equations with practical applications. All concepts and methods are illustrated by examples from the professional field. Teaching methods are supported by modern technology, ... Read more
