Heat Treatment
Holders: Assist. Prof. Kek Tomaž, Prof. Šturm Roman
Subject description
Course objectives:
The objective of the Heat treatment course is to provide the students with the necessary fundamentals for understanding the material properties given by the available heat treatment processes. A special presentation is delivered of phenomena occurring in the materials and influencing the achieved properties of core and surface of treated material.
Course enrolment requirements:
Completed first level studies in mechanical engineering or natural sciences or other fields with knowledge of fundamentals in the field of material science.
Objectives and competences:
Students gain knowledge about the materials used in mechanical engineering, the physical properties and the microstructural phenomena characteristic to the individual material groups, with respect to the different heat treatment processes.
Intended course learning outcomes:
The ability to assess the behaviour of materials from the viewpoint of the selected heat treatment. A good knowing of surface integrity yielded by different heat treatment processes. The ability to evaluate the microstructural transformations in the material after different thermal and thermochemical treatments. The ability to evaluate and select an optimal heat treatment or surface hardening.
