Description:
The module Surface structure and its modifications shall enable that students are knowledgeable about engineering materials surface structure, physio-chemical phenomena occurring on the interface, tribological properties as well as modification methods enabling improvement to functional properties of engineering materials; that they master modern testing methods for the structure and properties Owing to that students shall achieve a full understanding of the structure and properties relationships between the substrate, the layer and external conditions. The understanding of those relationships shall result in acquiring the skill to shape the surface structure so as to obtain better functional properties of engineering materials required in the intended use conditions.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education in physics, chemistry, rudiments of materials science or materials science modules.
