| Aim |
|---|
The student who has mastered this course can select the suitable material from the group of engineering materials according to working conditions. Is aware of the criteria according to which the suitability of material is estimated for working on big mechanical load, high or low temperature, in aggressive environment, intensive corrosion. Knows the main features according to which the structural materials are selected according to making technology, required mechanical and physical properties. Evaluates the material and its processing costs in case that the technical requirements enable to use different engineering materials.
Is able to select the material and its method of heat-treatment according to exercise. |
