Non-ferrous metals and their alloys (aluminium, copper, gold, titanium, magnesium, tin). Non-metal technical materials. Organic and anorganic materials (plastics, glass, cereamics, composites). Abrasive materials (free abrasives and polish, diamond bounded tools). Mechanical properties of metals and their testing (strength, ductility, toughness, hardness). Statical and dynamical tests. Nanotesting. Non-destructive methods of materials testing. An overview of degradation processes in metal materials (overload fracture, fatigue, creep, corossion, wear, radiation demage). Fractography and metallography basics. Metalograpic specimens preparation. Light microscopy.
