Summary
Subject takes up basic knowledge of material science and upgrades knowledge of materials used in present-day industries including different physical, mechanical, thermal and other properties. Structure properties (precipitation, recristallization, recovery, deformation, etc.) of selected material types are mentioned in the context with their properties (creep, deformation behaviour, superplacticity, superelasticity, embrittlement) and applications. Materials: on the base of Cu, Ni, Ti alloys, intermetallics, metal matrix composites, metallic glasses, metallic foams, functionnaly graded materials, bearing materials, polymers, shape memory alloys, biocompatible materials. Knowledge enables to students acquiring survey of trends of new material development and of used present-day materials.
