Course content
1. Structure of solids, bond between atoms, basics of crystallography, disorders of crystal structure, diffusion. 2. Properties of metals and alloys - distribution (physical, chemical, technological and mechanical properties). 3. Crystallization of metals and their alloys, phases and thermodynamic equilibrium, general features of crystallization, lever rule, phase rule, polymorphic metals. 4. Equilibrium binary diagrams - system with unlimited solid state solubility, limited solid state solubility, with eutectic, peritectic, eutectoid reaction, decomposition of supersaturated solid solution, 5. Elements in steels and cast irons, the influence of accompanying and alloying elements on the properties of steels and cast irons. 6. Metastable system Fe-Fe3C - structural, phase description, basic structures of steels. 7. Austenitization, decomposition of austenite - pearlitic, bainitic, martensitic transformation, IRA, ARA diagrams. 8. Heat treatment of steels: annealing - without recrystallization, with recrystallization, hardening, tempering, thermomechanical treatment. 9. Chemical-thermal treatment: cementing, nitriding and other methods. Thermomechanical processing of steels. 10. Stable Fe-C system - division, inoculation and modification of cast irons, heat treatment. 11. Mechanical properties and their testing - division. Destructive tests - static tensile test, hardness tests, impact test in bending, fatigue tests. Non-destructive tests - visual, magnetic, capillary, ultrasound, radiation tests. 12. Marking of steels and cast irons according to valid standards.

Learning outcomes
Generally, production engineering is a set of technologies zpracujících materials on various products. Most commonly processed materials in engineering the metals and their alloys, therefore, requires knowledge of the material, physical, mechanical and technological properties. The goal is to provide students with knowledge of the structure and properties of metallic materials, as well as influencing the processes of thermal properties and mechanical processing.
Students will gain basic knowledge about the structure, properties, methods of thermal and chemical-thermal treatment of iron-based alloys and will be familiar with this issue. They will gain practical experience in evaluating mechanical properties using appropriate standards and measuring equipment.
