The subject relates to the subject “Theory of production of non-ferrous metals”
and special attention is paid to production sequences within the frame of
individual groups of metals, such as heavy metals, light metals, noble and
precious metals, metals difficult to fuse, radioactive metals. Students get
acquainted with technologies of production of the most important
representatives of these groups of metals, their properties and possibilities
of their modification by alloying. They also get familiar with basic types of
alloys, including their characteristics and areas of utilisation.
