Course detail

Surface Treatment of Materials

FCH-BCO_PUMAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course makes students familiar with the mean, methods and technology of surface treatments of materials and about methods and equipments of simulation and operational testing procedures in according to ISO and EN standards. It is possible the expert knowledge apply to solve of concrete problems of surface engineering in industry and professional practices and within of investigation and development projects solutions, too.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course makes students familiar with the mean, methods and technology of surface treatments of materials and about methods and equipments of simulation and operational tests in according to ISO and EN standards. Target of specialist subject is acquaint of students with basic theory of common deterioration processes and surface treatments for applications to stand-alone technical solutions and appreciation of behaviour owing to different deterioration environmental conditions and students can sort surface treatments of materials to important components of engineering – technical disciplines.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to be familiar with basic types of metal and chemical materials, with the relationship between their structure and physical-chemical properties. Knowledge of basic meteorology and atmospheric environment is an advantage.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The exam is oral. Student answers 3 questions; theoretical topic on deterioration of materials and two themes on surface treatments and their testing. The understanding of a system approach and scope of knowledge of basic of surface engineering is emphasized
