Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Student will be able to:
- classify nonferrous metals
- apply basic theoretical knowledge from chemistry for processes of production of nonferrous metals
- classify individual technologies for production of metals and alloys
- classify alloys of copper, nickel, lead, zinc, aluminium, magnesium, titanium and other metals
- evaluate optimum technological process for production of selected groups of metals
- formulate advantages and disadvantages of individual technologies
- evaluate and assess influence of impurities on service properties of materials

Summary
The students will be introduced to the most significant representatives nonferrous
metals, such as heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, …), noble metals (Au, Ag, Pt metals), light metals (Al, Mg, Li), high-temperature melting metals (W, Mo, Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr, …) and radioactive metals (U, Th, Pu). They learn influence of individual admixtures and alloying elements on properties of these metals and alloys and mechanisms of influencing properties of these materials. There are also discussed areas of utilisation of these materials and development trends in enhancement of their service properties.
