Course detail

Introduction to Material Science and Engineering

FP-BumvKAcad. year: 2017/2018

The course acquaints the students with the basic knowledge about internal structure of technical materials, their phase composition and relates the material's chemical composition together with their structure and application properties. At the same time, it introduces some basic technologies used for processing the technical materials in engineering practice.
