Course detail
Practical Metallography
FSI-0PM Acad. year: 2018/2019 Winter semester
Real manufacturing problems and specific damage (failure) components case studies based on a complex structural and phase material analysis.
Getting acquainted with material analysis related to the use of unsuitable material, microstructure, chemical composition, thermal or chemical-heat treatment or non-optimal technological process of production. The material confusion or the supplier / customer conflicts solution with the specification of the material characteristics.
Confronting acquired knowledge from the field of material sciences with the real needs of technical practice.
The quantity and variety of solved problems and materials is based on more than 20 years of intensive cooperation of the subject's guarantor with industry.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Mastering the methodology of assessment of the real problems of practice relating to the material and the quality and technology of its processing.
Prerequisites
General knowledge and basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry from secondary school. Knowledge of material science corresponding to the level of subjects BUM, 3SV, etc.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The subject is led by an iterative form of discussion on specific issues and completing the necessary theoretical knowledge necessary for its successful solution.
In case of interest, the preparation of metallographic specimens and microscopic observation, or other additional analytical methods necessary for solving the given problems, are carried out.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Evaluation based on active approach during lectures.
Aims
Getting acquainted with the methodology of evaluating real production problems.
Acquiring basic methods of preparation, observation and evaluation of macro and micro structure of metallic and non-metallic materials using modern methods of light and electron microscopy.
Implementation of theoretical knowledge from the field of material sciences into real analysis of causes of damage.
Assessment of real manufacturing problems related to component damage after operational stress, eventually during technology of its production.
