Objectives
Starting from the study of metallic structures and eventual thermal treatment of metals and alloys, the students are expected to perceive the relations with the observed properties and practical applications of the various steeltypes, cast iron and the most important non-ferro alloys.

Topics
The course handles about the structure of metals, statediagrams, metallographic research, the properties (in relation to the metallographic structures) and applications of the most important metals and alloys; steel, cast iron, copper and derived alloys, aluminium and derived alloys.

Prerequisites
None.

Assessment
Theoretical partim: 73% (oral examination)
Practical excercises: 27% (permanent evaluation).

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
