The course in Composites covers the methodology of design, synthesis and characterisation of composites. It includes selection, synthesis and properties of composites and their components, design and prediction of mechanical properties (particularly strength and toughness), forming, bonding and engineering applications. The student is introduced to the world of materials, which are, in their concept, structure, ... Read more
Aluminium is, after iron, the second most useful metal technically speaking. The properties of aluminium and its alloys like: small specific density, high strength, an advantageous relationship between strength and specific density, electrical and thermical conductivity, excellent formability, corrosion resistance and simple and cheap recycling – enable its application in all technically important sectors like: ...

General description: Students become acquainted with the systematic structure and parameters of materials, enabling understanding of the methodology of materials design. They learn to design a constitution, its origins and development and stability of macro-, micro-and nano-structures in relation to the properties and behaviour of materials. This knowledge is the basis for validation of existing ... Read more
The goal of the course is to provide tools for planning material forming processes with regard to plastic deformation, processes in material during plastic deformation and the history of process parameters and final properties in the whole volume of the workpiece. The emphasis is on material forming processes, machines and tools.
Understanding the influence of heat input on occurrence of welding and soldering joints, failures in welds, stresses and strains, changing in the microstructure and mechanical properties in the areas of welds. The student obtains knowledge for planning the joints in practical applications.
The scope of the course is to demonstrate the applicability of the general theory of thermodynamics and physical metallurgy to the students on the special case of metal materials and to give them bases for planning and realisation of technological processes.
