Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the basic methods of documentation and preparation of samples for subsequent metallographic analysis. Furthermore, students will master the preparation of fractographic samples in order to guarantee a good interpretability of the conclusions obtained on the basis of subsequent analyses. The subject also includes working with various types of the most commonly used microscopes
