Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Acquired knowledge: - the student will be able to formulate the conditions of equilibrium processes and describe the basic types of solutions (melts); - the student will be able to characterize the processes occurring at the interface of a metal and metal-atmosphere-slag. Acquired skills: - the student will be able to solve tasks aimed at optimizing the course of metallurgical processes.
