Course content
Plain carbon steels, deep-drawing steels. The metallurgical quality of the technical materials and their influence on the operational behaviour. Weldable steels with improved yield strength. The alloying influence on the material properties. Spring steels and steels for rolling-contact bearings. Tool steels. Materials for surface hardening and case- hardening . Materials with higher resistivity to abrasion and high-strength steels. Stainless steels and heat-resisting steels. Creep-resisting steels and coldwork steels. Cast steels and cast iron. Cast imperfections, possibility their indication and elimination. Non-ferrous metal alloys; composites.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to inform students about properties and service behaviour of the selected groups of the materials, which are applied mainly for vehicular transport means. To give global information about their treatment and using, each degradation mechanisms as a direct consequence of the processing technology and operation loading regime.
After course have students skills for correct choice of the processing technology, are able to solve operation problems in connection with components and construction failure. Students are able to design suitable materials, to dimension the machine parts and to interpret the applications dangers due to loading conditions.
Prerequisites
Required is the fundamental knowledge internal building and behaviour of the materials in according to the content of the subject ?Materials science?.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

The requirements will be defined by lecturer
