Course detail

Engineering Materials - Selected Topics

FSI-0SV Acad. year: 2025/2026 Winter semester

The subject – with great space for questions and in more or less discussion form – sorts and complements informations given in parallel subject 3SV – Structure and properties of materials. Talk will be about:
- fase transformations during the heat treatment of metals and alloys
- structural materials (metals,ceramics, polymers and composites) – their chemical composition and technological treatment in relation to their crystallographic, sub-structural, structural, and mechanical properties
- degradation processes resulting from the practical application of these materials
- principles of selecting materials for engineering constructions.

Aims

This subject is created as a repeating and refreshing to the subject 3SV – Structure and properties of materials and its aim is to help students:
- to make clear informations about composition, structure, technological treatment and mechanical properties of materials
- to understand the fundametals of above-mentioned phenomenons.
This subject is created as a repeating and refreshing to the subject 3SV – Structure and properties of materials and as well as it gives:
- knowledge about relationship between chemical composition, structure and technological properties of materials
- informations necessary to exploatation of materials in practice
