Lectures:
1. Introduction into the study at FMME VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava.
2. Role of materials in human civilization evolution. Internal structure of engineering materials.
3. Principal methods of mechanical properties testing; strength vs. toughness – tensile test, Charpy notch toughness test.
4. Metals and alloys – classification, principal properties, examples of applications.
5. Polymer, ceramic and composite materials – classification, principal properties, examples of use.
6. Introduction into the iron and steelmaking. Technological flow, basic units. Charge, a brief description of contemporary technology. Casting of steel: continuous casting, ingot casting.
7. Cleanliness and properties of steel. Brief description of the special steel grades’ production. Possibilities of physical and numerical modelling of metallurgical processes.
8. Possibilities and limits of casting production. Applied processes and techniques in foundries for production of mold, cores and castings. Using materials for castings.
9. Division of forming technologies by product type and by forming temperatures. Effect of treatment on the properties of the material. Perspective of formed steel products.
10. A review of non-ferrous metals – a basic classification, important properties of basic metals and alloys form the point of view of their application in various industrial branches.
11. A basic overview of production technologies of non-ferrous metals; principal classification; characteristic differences in processes of pyro-, hydro- and electrometallurgy; examples of production technologies for well-known metals; technologies to improve metal and material purity.
12. Presentation of four study programmes accredited at FMME VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava; possibilities of the further study at FMME and the choice of a study branch.
