Course content
1. Overview of materials used for the construction of tools. 2. Crystal structure of metals. 3. Equilibrium binary diagrams - Fe-Fe3C, Fe-C, application in heat treatment. 4. Principle and methodology of heat treatment of tools. 5. Transformation diagrams of austenitization IRA, ARA (diagrams describing the transformation of austenite at constant temperature, at a temperature gradient and at different cooling rates). 6. Heat treatment of metals - hardening (principle, process and technological conditions). 7. Heat treatment of metals - annealing, tempering (principle, process and technological conditions). 8. Negative events occurring during heat treatment (defects, deformation). 9. Chemical heat treatment of tools. 10. Physical methods of applying particularly hard layers of tools (CVD and PACVD method). 11. Chemical methods of applying particularly hard layers of tools (PVD method). 12. Creation of special surfaces (matte surfaces of molds, patterning of molds, etc.). 13. Measurement of surface layer properties - Hardness, layer thickness. 14. Measurement of properties of surface layers - Surface structure.
