Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module Unconventional techniques for materials manufacturing shall enable that students are knowledgeable about methods for monocrystalline materials production and shall enable understanding mechanisms of their growth and the formation of a real structure. Owing to that and based on the analysis of phase equilibrium diagrams they will be capable of analysing the course of single-crystals growth and of predicting the chemical and phase composition as well as the kinetics of their crystallisation. These capabilities apply also to the production of complex polyphase materials monocrystalline on a macroscopic scale, including aviation monocrystalline superalloys. This module will provide students with an additional possibility to learn methods for structural perfection assessment of monocrystalline materials. Owing to that students shall achieve a better understanding of correlations between the structure of monocrystalline materials and conditions of their producing, which in turn will enable obtaining the skill to form the structure and properties of monocrystalline materials by appropriate conditions of their producing.
