| Summary |
|---|
| The course introduces students to the basic properties of ceramic materials, mostly refractory, teaches how to determine the properties of materials and use their knowledge to assess the suitability of materials for specific applications. In addition to the parameters of ceramic products, attention is given to the properties of raw materials for their preparation. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |

Student will be able to:
- determine selected properties of ceramic materials
- characterize ceramic materials for thermal processes based on their properties
- assess the properties of thermal process materials in terms of their composition and structure
- predict the lifetime of materials depending on their properties
- assess the suitability of materials for specific applications
