Overview

In the process of training in this area of studies, students learn the basic concepts and structural features of construction metals, non-metallic and other types of materials; dependence of their properties on the structure and composition; as well as physical essence of the phenomena occurring in materials under conditions of external impacts and operation. They learn to choose proper materials for the manufacture of products for various purposes in accordance with the operational, technological and economic requirements; evaluate changes in the mechanical properties of materials under the influence of external influences, e.g., plastic deformation, heat processing. They get acquainted with new developments in the creation of new structural materials, master the technological methods of obtaining and processing work materials and machine parts, the area of their rational use; typical technological equipment, tools and accessories; learn to independently choose the method of manufacturing blanks and machine parts, depending on the operating conditions; as well as master skills about the prospects for the development of basic technological processes of machine-building production.
