Summary

Students will gain a general overview of the properties of structural materials used in nuclear energy and their behavior at high temperatures, pressures, and radiation loads. They will become acquainted with selected types of steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metal alloys, as well as polymers, composites, ceramics, and additive manufacturing products used in nuclear equipment. An integral part of the course is also the main degradation processes of materials in nuclear power plant conditions and their impact on service life and operational safety.
