The objectives of this course are: provide to students knowledge necessary for selection of adequate heat treatment processes and definition of all parameters required for successful conduction of the selected processes; provide to students knowledge necessary to design new or redesign an existing heat treatment workshop on the basis of defined product portfolio.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. define and describe transformation processes occurring in material during heat treatment; 2. define and describe processes that result from the interaction of material and its surrounding atmosphere; 3. name and describe methods for generation of gaseous atmospheres for heat treatment processes; 4. name specifics of heat treatment in different environments; 5. name basic properties of tool steels and procedures of their heat treatment; 6. analyze given material and in accordance with required properties select adequate heat treatment processes and define all necessary parameters for the selected processes; 7. select and design equipment necessary for conduction of specific heat treatment process; 8. implement procedures necessary for ensuring the required quality in heat treatment; 9. generate conceptual technological design of a heat treatment workshop.

Introduction to processes occurring in material during its heating and cooling. Heating and cooling parameters and their influence on the results of heat treatment. Effect of gaseous atmospheres on the material during its heat treatment. Generation and application of controlled gaseous atmospheres. Vacuum heat treatment. Heat treatment in salts. Heat treatment in fluidized bed furnaces. Properties of tools steels and specifics of their heat treatment. Heat treatment furnaces. Conduction heat transfer. Convection heat transfer. Radiation heat transfer. Design of heat treating furnaces. Equipment and devices for cleaning, drying, internal and external transport. Process control in heat treatment. Quality control equipment. Basic instructions for heat treatment workshop design.

Teaching is held interactively as lectures and laboratory practice. During lectures, the theoretical part of the teaching content is presented and supplemented by characteristic practical examples for better understanding. During lectures, discussion between students is frequently initiated in order to increase motivation, expand understanding of presented matter, broaden perspectives and clarify potential ambiguities. During laboratory practice, the obtained knowledge is practically applied on the available laboratory equipment. During practice students work on their class project. Apart from lectures and practice, consultations are held regularly.
