| Profile of the Programme |
|---|
| Main goals:
• Acquisition of basic theoretical knowledge that will enable a sufficiently well-founded approach to the issue of technical subjects from three technological areas - iron and steel production, foundry and bulk forming.
• Acquisition of relevant expertise and skills in the theoretical and technological aspects of the three areas of metallurgical engineering with an emphasis on their thematic interconnection.
• Training of an engineer as a metallurgical specialist, technologist, researcher, etc., capable of managing the above-mentioned areas technically and managerially, including methods of quality management.
• Acquisition of general competences corresponding to the Master's degree - soft skills, language skills, presentation of results, etc.
Specific goals:
• Understand the theoretical and technological nature of the processes of metallurgical processes, formulate physico-chemical processes in the production of pig iron and steel, characterize the processes occurring during refining and the patterns of casting, crystallization and solidification of steel.
• Understand the principle of cast parts production using foundry methods, characterize processes occurring at the form-metal interface, characterize processes occurring during casting, crystallization and solidification of castings from iron alloys and non-ferrous metals using experimental methods, computer modeling and operational applications.
• Understand the advantages of a comprehensive approach to studying the deformation behavior of materials in the coordination of forming, material sciences, computer and automation, etc., preferably in a combination of experimental methods, computer modeling and operational applications.
• To learn to use theoretical and practical knowledge for individual technological aggregates associated with the production of iron and steel, including the application of knowledge and results obtained using modern laboratory equipment together with the processes of physical or numerical modeling.
• To learn how to design a suitable casting process based on theoretical and practical knowledge, including the use of new and progressive methods and materials, in order to achieve maximum performance of castings with minimal economic and environmental burden.
• To learn the thought processes and methods leading to the effective utilization of the structural potential of both traditional and newly developed metallic materials in order to achieve precisely defined or extremely outstanding mechanical properties of the bulk formed products.
