Summary
Classification of materials. Physical, structural and mechanical properties of materials. Influence of impurities and alloying elements on basic properties of metals and their alloys, mechanisms of interactions and possibility of their employment to modify metals and alloys properties. Phase diagrams, phase transformations, heat treatment, stability and metastability of phases applied on the selected advanced alloys.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student of postgraduate study will gain the following abilities:
- explain relationships between structure and basic properties of materials
- formulate advantages and disadvantages of applications of nonferrous metal in various industries
- select an optimum material for various areas of application from the viewpoint of their mechanical properties and interaction with the environment
- classify and make an overview of basic properties of metals and alloys for structural, electromagnetic, superconducting, automotive, aerospace and other applications
- compare and select individual types of materials according to selected properties for specific applications
