Course content
1. Nature and purpose of heat treatment. Classification of methods of thermal and chemical-thermal treatment of metals. 2. Objectives and methods of annealing (soft, homogenization / diffusion, normalization, recrystallization, isothermal, stress relief annealing). 3. Hardening - essence and methods (straight, angled, intermittent), hardening temperature, hardenability and its evaluation. 4. Tempering - essence and methods, use in tool and structural steels, tempering brittleness. 5. Processes in chemical-thermal treatment, individual methods (cementing, nitrocementing, nitriding, sulfonitriding, boriding, alitization). 6. Current trends, promising materials and technologies for thermal and chemical-thermal processing of metals. 7. Practical aspects of heat treatment technologies - steels for springs and rolling bearings, structural steels, stainless (austenitic, martensitic) steels, tool steels. 8. Terminology and classification of methods of heat treatment of non-ferrous metals. 9. Heat treatment of aluminum alloys (homogenization annealing, soft annealing, removal of internal stress, recrystallization annealing). 10. Nature and methods of hardening of Al - alloys (goal of hardening, procedures - natural and artificial hardening). 11. Nature and methods of heat treatment of hot pressed powder metals (powder metallurgy).

Learning outcomes
Most manufacturing companies use at a point in its technological process, some form of heat treatment of material. In metal processing, metal manufacturing semi-finished or finished products from metallic materials will need to heat treatment. Therefore, personnel working directly in manufacturing, technical preparation, control or in the laboratory must know the substance of change and its target, which occur during heat treatment and obtaining such knowledge is the aim of the course.
The ability to determine the heat treatment process, Knowledge of the nature and course of events, The ability to determine the best procedure for a given use case material Orientation in methods of heat treatment and knowledge of the impact on the material
