Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student will be able to:
- characterize the processes of preparation of advanced materials, especially on the basis of non-ferrous metals.
- describe innovative production technologies of conventional and special materials
- describe applications of selected material technologies in various industries - energy, transport and aerospace industries, medicine, electrical engineering and electronics, etc.
Course Contents
Progressive technology for the production of alloys and compounds with specific properties:

1. Melting technologies (ISM process, centrifugal casting, electron beam zone melting, plasma metallurgy, Bridgman's method, Czochralski's method, melt spinning, strip casting, squeeze casting, etc.).

2. Technologies of powder metallurgy (atomization, press + sinter, isostatic hot pressing, metal injection molding, rolling, extrusion, etc.).

3. Additive Manufacturing Technologies (stereolithography, selective laser sintering, direct metal laser sintering, fused deposition modelling, laminated object manufacturing, etc.).
