materials. Structure, physical, chemical and mechanical properties of ceramic materials. Basic principles of dyeing mechanical structures and paint systems. Standardization of materials, standards.
Study of metal structures and imperfections using metallurgical microscopy and ultrasounds. Measurements of properties of metals and alloys after thermal, mechanical and chemical treatments. Chemical tests of alloy composition and strength of metals in corrosion. Plastic molding.
Measurement of the properties of non-metallic materials. Strength of non-metallic materials to conditions of application and to acids, bases and organic solvents. Quality control of mechanical parts of machines. Treatment of the metal surface before applying coating color.

Educational Goals

After successful completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:

  • identify and describe basic materials used in industrial production
  • know the correlation of structure and mechanical behavior of materials
  • be familiar with the basic mechanisms of material failure

General Skills

Apply knowledge in practice
Retrieve, analyze and synthesize data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
Make decisions
Works autonomously

Teaching Methods

Lectures, Exercises, Online guidance, Projected Presentations, E-mail communication, Online Synchronous and Asynchronous Teaching Platform (moodle).

Students Evaluation

The final grade of the course is 100% of the grade of the theoretical part by a written final examination.
The written final examination of the theoretical part may include:
• Solving problems of application of the acquired knowledge
• Short Answer Questions
