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 innovative materials ... 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.
The main objective of this course is to teach students how to integrate fundamental knowledge about materials, mechanics, numerical analyses and computer sciences in the design of complex forming technologies based on plastic deformation of materials. For efficient solutions of future technological challenges in the area of material forming, we will teach students how to apply ... Read more
Knowledge about physical, experimental and material bases of non-destructive testing; experimental techniques and methods; instrument handling, procedures and ways of analysis of the results; writing reports and notes, standards and cooperation during investigations of real problems; quality control.
Steel as a mass material with extraordinary mechanical and other valuable properties enables a wide range of use. The primary objective of this course is first to demonstrate the importance of steel as a unique material in the development of mankind in relation to all environmental problems. In this course, students will learn the processes of ... Read more
