Summary

Field of materials: Materials in the evolution of human civilisation; basic classification of materials; internal structure of materials; principal properties of materials, mainly mechanical properties; metals and their alloys; ceramic materials; polymer materials; composites; examples of materials used in selected branches - medicine, sports, transport, building industry etc.
In the field of metallurgy the subject is focused on description of recent trends in technologies of iron making and steelmaking, on basic theoretical analysis used foundry technology and materials for production of castings, on description of various technologies of bulk forming and on technologies used in the Czech steel works. Students will be briefly familiar with the modelling of metallurgical processes.
