Course detail

Recovery and Surface Treatment

FSI-HPU Acad. year: 2021/2022 Summer semester

The course Recovery and Surface Treatment is important for technologists and designers. It is based on the technology of:
- weld cladding: arc welding, flame welding, plasma and laser welding, inclusive of special techniques,
- thermal spraying by: arc, flame, plasma, high velocity methods (HVOF),
- surface treatment: surface theory, oxidation methods (eloxal process), electroplating Cu, Cr, Ni, Zn, etc., chemical layers, PVD,CVD, organic coatings,
- bonding, cementation, adhesive, dispersion hardening.
All technologies will be accompanied with an overview of auxiliary materials, typical examples and industrial applications.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The students will acquire knowledge of all types of modern technology cladding and surface treatment. They will be able to apply these technologies to the machine construction manufacturing.

Prerequisites

Basic welding technologies – flame, arc welding, plasma, laser. Thermally and deformation field, weldability of materials, inorganic chemistry, corrosion.

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

The final exam will be composed of written and oral part. It is classificated to the ECTS grading scale.

Aims

The main objective of the course is to provide students with the theoretical foundations and methodology necessary for solving technologies of renovations and surface treatment. Students will acquire knowledge necessary for a creative and complex solution of renovations and surface treatment.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at exercises is compulsory. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher who can set a special programme to be worked out.
