Course content
1. Internal structure of metals and alloys. Basics of crystallography. 2. Dislocation - origin, movement dislocation, dislocation of cast material, relationship between dislocations and properties material. 3. Physics of phase interfaces, metal-gas, metal-electrolyte, surface and interfacial tension. 4. Diffusion in solids - the essence, principle and mechanism of diffusion, parameters and methods of diffusion, diffusion coefficient, etc. 5. Methods and mechanism of metal strengthening. 6. Relationship between dislocations and plastic deformation during forming 6. Mechanism and principle of curing. Precipitation hardened alloys 7. Crystallization of metals and their alloys - the formation of inhomogeneities and their elimination. 8. Grain boundaries: definition and basic description. Grain boundary properties: segregation and migration. 9. Chemical - heat treatment of metal surfaces and diffusion processes in the heat treatment of metals (nitriding, cementing, boriding). 10. Methods and nature of surface wear of materials. 11. Fracture failure. Mechanism of fracture formation, types of fracture and its origin. The essence of fractography and its use.

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
Processes taking place in materials in the field of structure, substructure in connection with technological processes (casting, forming, machining, heat treatment). Changes taking place within materials in the structure and substructure due to technological processes and their impact on the overall properties of materials. Changes in the material as a result of these internal processes and ways to improve the properties of the material as a result of these processes.
