Course detail
Engineering Materials and Heat Treatment
FSI-HMT-KAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course Engineering Materials and Heat Treatment familiarises students with constructional and tool metals, as well as non-metal materials, which are used in mechanical engineering nowadays. Lessons are focused on relations among the chemical composition, properties, structure of material, and its use. Emphasis is placed on linking theoretical knowledge and practical ability to solve the most common problems associated with material sciences occurring in technical practice.
The course deals with the following topics:
- influence of metallurgy on properties and structure of steel and alloys
- phase changes during the heat processing
- construction steel
- weldability of steels
- mechanical properties of steels
- steels and alloys for casts
- tool materials.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Missed lessons may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.
Aims
Completion of the course should enable students to select a suitable material for a specific application, including the design of its heat treatment or surface treatment. At the same time, students should be able to identify the most common problems in practice related to materials and their processing.
