doc. Ing. Antonín Záděra, Ph.D.

Institute of Manufacturing Technology

A good knowledge of the subject matter of the courses Metallurgy of steel, Theory of metallurgical processes, and Theory of foundry processes.

Oral examination with preparation in writing.
The lecturer assigns to students independent work. Attendance at lecture is required.

The objective is to prepare the student for independent calculation work in the area of modelling the processes taking place in the production of steel and in secondary processing. Prediction of manufacturing processes.
Application of thermodynamic equilibria in calculations that are necessary in the production of steel and in secondary metallurgy. Exploitation of simple kinetic relations in the course of metallurgical reactions. In-depth knowledge of applying thermodynamic data from databases.
