Summary
The graduate of the course understands the relationships between the internal structure of materials, their properties, and the course of technological processes. They are able to explain the influence of technological operations such as machining, forming, welding, heat treatment, and surface treatments on changes in material structure and properties. They are familiar with the mechanisms of material degradation, including fatigue, corrosion, and diffusion processes, and understand the influence of technological and operating conditions on their initiation and progression. They distinguish between elastic and plastic behavior of materials and are able to assess their significance for the design and service life of structures. The acquired knowledge is applied in evaluating the suitability of technological processes and in preventing material degradation in engineering practice.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Obtaining of knowledges about influence of inside structure and quality materials
on course technological process and knowledges of influence technological
process - cutting, forming, welding, heat treatment, surface treatment - on
changes of inside structure and quality materials.
