Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the principles of conventional and progressive metal materials used in engineering practice. Graduates are able to orientate in basic contours in key metal materials, fundamentals of physico-chemical processes, crystalline structure and lattice defects, methods of microscopic structure analysis, mechanical tests carried out in accordance with relevant standards. The graduate is able to critically evaluate individual types of materials, to classify and evaluate information contained in protocols from measurement of basic material properties. The graduate is able to analyze basic types of binary equilibrium diagrams. The graduate is able to orientate in the range of corrosion and corrosion protection of metals. The graduate will acquire basic knowledge and skills in the field of metallic materials, which will enable him to effectively manage production processes in the company, where these materials are used within the material flow, products or goods.

Exam conditions
For successful completion of the course it is necessary to achieve at least 70% of the total and final evaluation under the conditions set out below. In the interim evaluation it is possible to get 30 points, ie 30%. In the final evaluation you can get a total of 70 points, ie 70%. Overall classification of the course, ie points for final evaluation (70 - 0) + points from continuous evaluation (30 - 0): A 100 - 90, B 89.99 - 84, C 83.99 - 77, D 76.99 - 73, E 72.99-70, FX 69.99-30, F 29.99-0. Full-time students are obliged to fulfill the compulsory 70% attendance at contact instruction, ie everything except lectures. If the attendance is not fulfilled, the student will be automatically classified as “-”.
