Course program

Day 1

Theoretical introduction - structure of matter, structure of the atom, periodic table of elements. Natural materials, engineering materials. Why don't we use pure iron? Alloys of ferrous metals (steels, cast steels, cast irons) - differences.
Structure and properties. Interactions between atoms, crystallographic lattices, basic systems, especially those occurring in metals: A1, A2 and A3 - their influence on mechanical properties (strength or plastic). Allotropic forms of iron (different crystallographic structure) and their influence on mechanical properties (strength and plastic - susceptibility to plastic processing), or on technological properties.
Plastic working of metals and alloys - mechanisms of plastic deformation: slip or twinning, crystallographic defects: point, linear, surface, influence of defect density on strength properties and strengthening of metals and their alloys, cold plastic working, degree of deformation and inter-operational (recrystallizing) annealing, Hot plastic working – where, when and why is it used?
Division and classification of Fe alloys: steel, cast steel, cast iron. What is steel? Methods of obtaining (melting steel), alloying and secondary metallurgy, methods of casting it (COS - continuous casting of steel, casting from above, siphon casting - from below). Dendrites. How to get rid of them? Attempts to repair liquation in ingots - hot plastic processing: rolling, drawing, forging (free, die, on hydraulic presses, hammers or swaging machines), degree of processing and its effect on the homogeneity of the structure and thus on the homogeneity of properties.
Mechanical and technological properties of iron alloys and methods of their determination: Static tensile test and the amount of information that can be obtained from it: mechanical properties (Hoock's law, proportionality limit, elastic limit, upper and lower yield strength or conventional yield strength, strength limit, breaking stress), plastic properties (elongation, narrowing). Hardness, microhardness, which method, ball size at Brinell - selection of the pressing force depending on the type of material tested and the size of the ball, Rockwell, Vickers, dynamic measurements: Poldi hammer. Impact strength. What and how to test it? The effect of chemical composition (amount of carbon), temperature, processing state (structure), chemical composition and alloying elements used on the temperature of the transition to the brittle state. The effect of temperature (ambient, lowered, increased on the properties of iron alloys and on the technological properties of steel).
Iron-carbon phase equilibrium diagram:

Fe-Fe3C diagram, its division into steels, cast steels, cast irons. Carbon steels and their characteristics (phase composition), low-, medium- and high-carbon steels. Analysis of the phase composition of steels, cast steels and cast irons based on the diagram and metallographic photos. The influence of the phase structure on the properties of these groups of materials (steels for cold or hot plastic processing) and their corrosion resistance (number of phases and their influence on electrochemical corrosion).
What do alloying elements improve, what do they spoil? Why do we use them? How do they change characteristic points (temperatures, C concentrations) on the Fe-C diagram, expanding or narrowing the fields appearing on the diagram (ferrite-forming elements, austenite-forming elements). Elements changing the Flade potential – Cr and the risk of intergranular corrosion. Elements improving heat resistance, creep resistance and elasticity.

Steels. Division and classification of steels according to various criteria: according to the method of their production (melting), according to the method of deoxidation (killed, semi-killed, unkilled), according to the alloying elements used or their quantity (unalloyed steels, low-, medium-, high-alloy steels), according to the amount of carbon (low-, medium- or high-carbon steels), according to their properties and their purpose (structural steels, tool steels, steels with special properties), according to quality, according to the type of products, according to their form, according to the qualification condition, steel marking according to European standards, steel numbers, other steel marking systems, material bases, substitutes and their markings in other countries.

Steels and iron alloys with special properties - alloy steels for use at elevated temperatures, heat-resistant and creep-resistant steels, valve steels, resistance steels and alloys, superalloys and high-temperature alloys.
Corrosion, basics. Electrochemical series of elements (reminder). Chemical or electrochemical corrosion, which is more common and why. Number of phases inside the structure and their effect on corrosion resistance. Classification of corrosion phenomena, corrosion mechanisms, types of corrosive environments, types of corrosion damage (uniform corrosion and its rate, pitting, selective, stress, fatigue, selective, intergranular corrosion.
