Engineering Materials

Učbenik je kot osnovna literatura namenjen študentom 1. stopnje študijskih programov Strojništvo, Gospodarsko inženirstvo in Mehatronika. Učbenik sestavljajo tri samostojna poglavja, ki kot celota prinašajo znanja s področja materialov in tehnologij in so potrebna pri razvoju, raziskavah in uporabi materialov na področju strojništva, elektrotehnike, avtomatike, energetike ... Prvo poglavje obravnava značilne skupine konstrukcijskih materialov in njihovo zgradbo. Opisani so osnovni pojmi in predstave o materialih, ki so potrebne za razumevanje njihovih lastnosti. V drugem poglavju so obravnavane ključne lastnosti konstrukcijskih materialov, ki omogočajo uspešno izbiro materialov za določeno aplikacijo. Tretje poglavje vsebuje izbrane primere konstrukcijskih materialov. Opisuje posebna jekla za uporabo v strojništvu, lahke zlitine, konstrukcijsko keramiko, keramična stekla in polimerne materiale.The textbook is intended as a basic literature, for students of the 1st level of the study programs Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Mechatronics. The textbook consists of three independent chapters, which as a whole bring knowledge in the field of materials and technologies and are needed in the development, research and use of materials in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automation, power industry ... The first chapter deals with typical groups of engineering materials and their structure. The basic concepts and facts about materials needed to understand their properties are described. The second chapter discusses the key properties of engineering materials that enable the successful selection of materials for a particular application. The third chapter contains selected examples of engineering materials. It describes special steels for use in mechanical engineering, light alloys, engineering ceramics, ceramic glasses and polymer materials
