Special Technology of Machining (FSI-HO1)

Academic year 2025/2026
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Josef Sedlák, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

The aim of the course is to introduce students to modern manufacturing trends, such as HSC, HFM and hard machining. It will also cover issues related to machining thin-walled parts and difficult-to-machine materials. Furthermore, students will be familiarized with the basic principles of deburring technology, the application of PVD coatings on cutting tools, and the fundamentals of metrology.

The course also includes collaboration with companies in the form of expert lectures and excursions to provide a theoretical foundation in the aforementioned machining topics.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Knowledge of basic machining methods, knowledge of mathematics, physics and material science, theory of probability, differential and integral calculus and statistics.
Course contents:

The course content focuses on progressive modern technologies such as HSC, HFM, hard machining and deburring technologies. This course familiarizes students with the machining of difficult-to-machine materials, the machining of thin-walled parts using CNC machines and the issues surrounding the machining of composite materials. Additionally, students will be introduced to cutting materials, fundamental cutting tool coating technologies, the theory of energetic problems in cutting, and the basic principles of metrology.

The course also includes excursions to manufacturing companies and presentations by external specialists on the aforementioned machining topics.
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Credit requirements include an active participation in all exercises, processing measured data from a specific practical session and a subsequent presentation on the given topic in teams. Attendance at practical sessions is mandatory; in case of illness, it is necessary to notify the instructor in advance. In justified cases, the instructor may set alternative conditions for granting credit.

The examination consists of a written part (a minimum grade of E is required) and an oral part.
Controlled participation in lessons:
 
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 3 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  13 × 3 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture HSC and HFM technology.
