Course detail
Testing of Materials and Products
FSI-DZM Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
Using appropriate testing methods it is possible to determine the utilization of a material in a given technical application, to determine defects of materials (open-grain structures, inclusions, cracks, etc.) and to assess any possible degradation of the applied material during an operation (wear, occurrence of fatigue cracks, etc.). As a part of the course, the description, importance and application of the most important mechanical, technological and non-destructive tests is given. Attention is also paid to fundamentals of phase and structural analyses using light microscopy.

Entry knowledge
Knowledge from courses of "Materials Science and Engineering" and "Structure and Material Properties" are required.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course-unit credit requirements: attendance at exercises and to working-out all protocols according to teacher’s instructions. The exam consists of two parts. The written part contains five questions from topics presented during the semester. At the verbal part students will answer questions concerning the written part and other complementary questions.
The degree of mastering the problem and the fulfillment of the intermediate requirements is assessed by the teacher by the ECTS classification.
Exercises are compulsory. Absence from the exercises must be properly excused. The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having worked out several individual presentations during the semester.
Aims
The course is concerned with the input material or the product testing in shanking technology. The purpose is to demonstrate alternatives of individual testing methods and their importance in practice.
The course allows students to obtain a view of testing equipment and methods which are used at destructive and non-destructive testing of constructional materials.
