Overview on light metals: processing, working; properties related to manufacturing; selection criteria for engineering application

Overview on light metals (Al, Mg, Ti alloys), systematic of alloy systems, strengthening mechanisms (precipitation hardening, phase transformations), shaping (casting, hot/cold forming), service properties, trends in alloys development

1) written

2) Presentations about applications: up to 10 points will be added to the mark of the written examination for those who get at least 50 points (out of 100)
