Supervisor: | prof. Ing. Milan Horáček, CSc. | |||
Supervising institute: | ÚST | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The aim of the course is obtaining a general overview of different technologies for casting manufacture, taking into account both the type of mould and core used and also technology of mould filling by molten metal. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
The course provides students with basic knowledge of possibilities of using castings in different practical applications from their design and material point of view, taking into account also quality and economy of the final product. |
||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic principles of casting manufacture- knowledge obtained in 1st and 3rd year of the bachelorś study programme. Material science knowledge + appropriate parts of physics (liquid flow, thermomechanics, etc.) |
||||
Course contents: | ||||
Basic methods applied to the production of castings. The course is giving the basic overview about all phases in casting manufacture taking into account choice of specific technology used, i.e. pattern equipment and the type of mould (permanent- non permanent). |
||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work. |
||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
Attendance in lectures is recommended, attendance in exercises is obligatory. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Attendance at lessons is obligatory. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with the lecturer. |
||||
