Course detail
Technological Properties of Materials
FSI-WTV Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester
Technological properties of materials explained, in particular, on the basis of materials problematic. The technological properties included concern metallic materials (castability, formability, weldability, and machinability). Technological properties of non-metallic materials are incorporated in courses dealing with them.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Knowledge and skills in the area of assessing, affecting, and applying the basic technological properties of metals and alloys, preferably with the materials viewpoint being applied. Capability for creative work or cooperation in the area of the given manufacturing technology.
Prerequisites
BUM, 3SV – general foundation
2VT, WTC – technological foundation
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Semestral examination (written exam covering the whole scope of the given problematic). Assessment based on ECTS criteria.
Aims
To provide students with information and data from the areas of castability, formability, weldability, and machinability, with primary focus on materials aspects and interactions.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Checking the knowledge, skills and abilities gained after the completion of individual thematic areas (qualifying exam, written test, etc.).
