Course detail
Laboratory Classes in Metallic Materials
FCH-MCO_PKMAcad. year: 2015/2016
This is laboratory practice focused on standard metallography. Micrographs of steel, cast irons and nonferrous alloys will be prepared. Quality of finished surface and its interpreting in reports will be emphasized. Mechanical and corrosion properties will be evaluated.
