Institute of Materials Science and Engineering

Atomic bonds, fundamentals of crystallography, crystallographic systems, crystal symmetry, crystal lattice defects, crystalline structure of solid solutions and intermediate phases in metallic and ceramic systems.

Course-unit credit: Awarding the credit is conditional on attendance at all exercises and on written reports on the tasks assigned. Examination: In the written part, students answer four questions. Three questions are theoretical, one is practical. In this part of the exam, students may use available literature, with the exception of the course book. In the oral part, students explain the theoretical topics as prompted by the examiner.
Attendance at exercises is compulsory. Absence from exercises must be accounted for. Students who have missed an exercise will be given an extra assignment. They will prove in the form of a written report that they have mastered the given topic.

The course concentrates on explaining the essence of the formation of mechanical properties of metallic and non-metallic substances, in dependence on faulted crystal lattice. Information is provided about the mechanisms of plastic deformation in single-crystal and polycrystalline materials, deformation textures, and strain hardening. In the exercises, students learn the experimental methods for studying plastic deformation.
The knowledge of the processes of plastic deformation in crystals. Relation between sub-microscopic events in solids and macroscopic manifestation of these events – i.e. changes in mechanical properties.
