Course detail
Advanced Materials for Cutting Tools
FSI-9PMR Acad. year: 2022/2023 Both semester
The subject acquaints students with the cutting tool materials. It deals with high speed steels, cemented carbides (without/with hard and wear resistant coatings), cermets, cutting ceramics and super hard tool materials (polycrystalline diamond and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) from the viewpoint of their classification, marking, properties, production and use. The subject describes the newest tool materials of the top home and foreign cutting tools producers and methods of their coating – CVD, MTCVD, PVD and others.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course familiarises students with advanced cutting tool materials (classification, marking, properties, production, producers, effective use).
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have the knowledge acquired in the course of previous study, namely in the following fields: theory and technology of machining, material science, physics. English language is also required.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Examination verifies the theoretical knowledge of topics presented in lectures and consultations. It has an oral part only.
Aims
The goal of the course is to provide students with up-to-date specialized knowledge in the area of cutting tool materials and particular tool materials of the top home and foreign cutting tools producers.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Recommended participations in lessons. Compulsory and checked participations in exercises and labs .Attendance at lectures is recommended, it can be substituted by regular consultations with the teacher, by consultations on the selected professional workplace outside the faculty, or by visiting technical libraries, after previous agreement with the teacher.
