Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The students are able to orient themselves among various metallic and non-metallic materials, considered for design of airplanes or for their maintenance. The ultrahigh strength steels used for landing gears are defined by chemical composition, manufacturing technology, the properties and by market. The same may be specified at Al-alloys,Mg-alloys and Ti-alloys. Also, the basic knowledge about the technical ceramics, composites and plastic materials is demonstrated.
