Materials and Technology

Educational goals

Cílem programu Materiály a technologie je vytvoření moderního typu interdisciplinární výuky s vyváženým poměrem teoretických a aplikačně orientovaných předmětů a příprava studentů na budoucí řešení komplexních inženýrských úloh s důrazem na zvyšující se podíl využití numerických metod modelování, které jsou nedílnou součástí předpokládaného přechodu strojírenství na způsob výroby označovaný jako Průmysl 4.0. Výchova budoucích specialistů technických odvětví ve studijním programu Materiály a technologie je tak cíleně koncipována jako ucelený soubor informací v širokém spektru oblastí, do kterých spadá především materiálové inženýrství, technologie zpracování různých typů materiálů, metrologie a navrhování technologických postupů výroby. Vývoj nových typů materiálů se specifickými užitnými vlastnostmi na kovové i nekovové bázi a jejich stále častější průmyslová aplikace byly logickým důvodem k jejich zařazení do výuky v rámci programu Materiály a technologie. Dílčím cílem předkládaného studijního programu je poskytnutí informací studentům o možnostech využití těchto typů materiálů v průmyslových aplikacích a způsobech zvyšování jejich užitných vlastností prostřednictvím technologického zpracování a strukturních změn.

Profile of the graduate

Students graduating from study programme Materials and Technology will gain knowledge of metallic and non-metallic materials, their technological processing and subsequent use in a wide range of applications. They will learn about the processing of materials and the evaluation of their performance in terms of the internal structure of materials, physical chemistry, thermodynamics and mechanics. They will acquire a broad knowledge of conventional and progressive manufacturing technologies and will be oriented in the issues of manufacturing procedures from production preparation, through its implementation, to final acceptance, for both chip and non-chip manufacturing technologies. Thanks to the planned active way of teaching with practical demonstrations and a number of laboratory tasks (with emphasis on independent decision-making and defending the obtained results), the graduate will be able to integrate much faster and more successfully into the production sphere in a relatively wide range of work activities, as currently required by industrial partners. The study programme also has the ambition to prepare graduates for possible study in the follow-up accredited doctoral study programme P0788D270002 Technology and Materials. The graduate profile of the study programme is specified by the knowledge and skills outcomes: 1. Within the framework of the compulsory courses, the graduate will acquire knowledge related to: ” The nature, possibilities, advantages and disadvantages of different chip and non-chip manufacturing The advantages and disadvantages of non-particle and particle processing technologies, as well as current trends in technological development. ” A broad portfolio of materials including steels (structural, tool, high strength and fine grain, TRIP, TWIP, CP, IF and creep resistant steels and stainless and refractory steels) and non-ferrous materials (Al, Mg, Zn, Ti, Ni and their alloys). Basic information on metal composites. ” Enhancing the performance of products by means of functional layers (thermal, physical and chemical processes). ” Metrology, technical measurement and experimental methods. ” Parts of machinery and production equipment, including their automation and robotic capabilities. ” Destructive and non-destructive testing of materials at ambient temperature and at higher and possibly lower temperatures. 2. In the framework of compulsory elective courses, the graduate will acquire knowledge concerning: ” The influence of technological processing on the mechanical properties and performance of the material and the possibility of their elimination. ” The possibilities and applicability of simulation calculations in the production processes of casting, surface forming, welding and heat treatment. ” The nature, possibilities, advantages and disadvantages and application of special and hybrid manufacturing technologies and methods. 3. The graduate will have skills related to: ” Design and control of manufacturing processes. ” Application of simulation calculations in the pre-production stage and in production with regard to optimization. ” Ensuring technological preparation of production. ” Designing machine layouts, material flow, workplace continuity, etc. ” Determination of production control and quality control, material and technological tests. Preparation of quotations, assessment
