Learning outcomes: The student received the theoretical messages in range of structure and basic properties of engineering materials (technical and biological origin), principles of the rational chosen to specific use and gets to know the methods formation of their properties. He also gets to know methods of determining the parameters values that describing these proprieties. Student be able to analyze the microstructure of the typical species of steel, cast irons, the alloys of copper and aluminum, he also is able to recognize their modifications. He also is able to determine the basic strength parameters of tested materials and to qualify their usefulness to utilization in technique (also agricultural) on this basis.
Competences: The student possesses the consciousness of the influence of the quality of the processes of formation of the internal structure of articles (structure and surface condition) on the safety and reliability of exploited devices. He reasoned that more and more wide using new materials and technology their production extorts the need of systematic additional schooling.
Prerequisites: Mathematics, Physics
Course content: Engineering materials, the classification, properties and uses. Mechanisms of the wear and the destruction, the method of marking of the properties. Metals and their alloys, constantly and cast irons, graphs of the equilibrium, the microstructure. Bases of the heat-treatment and thermal-chemical of metals. The surface engineering.
