| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |

The course is aimed at a deeper understanding of the relationship between design, manufacturing processes and properties of materials that are applied in the automotive, aerospace, energy or engineering industries. Various manufacturing technologies including progressive methods of metallurgy such as induction skull melting, centrifugal casting, electron beam floating zone melting, plasma metallurgy, melt spinning, strip casting, atomization, further composites manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing technologies, methods of forming thin films, etc. The fundamental principles of given technologies, their advantages and disadvantages, the economic aspects, the suitability/proposal of the processes for the particular materials in order to achieve their required properties will be discussed. New areas of advanced science and technology, for example, semiconductors, microelectronics, optoelectronics, superconducting materials, vacuum technology, nuclear metallurgy, space industry, require materials, metals and their special alloys and compounds with high chemical purity and defined physical and structural parameters and specific applied properties. Therefore, the attention will also be paid to the manufacturing processes of high purity materials via suitable physical, physico-chemical and metallurgical methods (e.g. sorption, extraction, crystallization from aqueous solutions, electrolysis, crystallization from melts, evaporation, condensation and transport reactions, electro-transport, diffusion separation of substances, removal of gases from melts and vacuum refining of metals).
The students will be able:
- to characterize given manufacturing processes of pure metals, alloys, compounds and composites, including their advantages and disadvantages with regard to obtaining materials with specific utility properties and quality,
- to critically analyze alternative manufacturing processes,
- to define / specify material properties affecting the choice of the manufacturing process,
- to interpret the manufacturing processes of materials in a wider context,
- to select a suitable production process for obtaining a material with required properties,
- to take into account all aspects of the manufacturing process of material or component, including subsequent recycling or disposal,
- to consider a choice of suitable physical, physico-chemical and metallurgical methods for particular cases of synthesis or purification of metals, alloys and compounds,
- to define the thermodynamic and kinetic factors necessary for the assessment of refining effect in the area of the metallurgy of pure metals.
