Course content
The author is based on the new material classification adopted by the European Federation of Materials Societies. Our Czech Society for New Materials and Technologies has also agreed with it. Together with a brief history of the development and physical nature of these materials, the most common types of individual newly developed materials, their designation and their basic characteristic utility properties, especially mechanical properties, are presented. Each of the lectures also shows development trends. At the same time, the lectures emphasize that students learn to approach and solve materials problems in a comprehensive manner. Overview of lecture topics: 1. Marking of metallic materials according to European standards 2. 2. Modern steel of mass consumption (= MOHS) 3. High-alloy and high-strength steels 4. Nickel and cobalt-based superalloys 5. Non-ferrous metal alloys (titanium, magnesium, beryllium) 6. High entropy alloys (HEA alloys) 7. Materials (parts, components) produced by additive technology (3-D printing) - I. 8. Materials (parts, components) produced by additive manufacturing (3-D printing) - II. 9. Metal matrix composite materials (aluminium, titanium, nickel and cobalt based) 10. Special types of new metal alloys (biomaterials, shape memory materials, superplastic, superconducting) 11. Heat treatment of non-ferrous alloys (titanium, magnesium, beryllium, zinc) 12. Metal alloys for power engineering (classical, nuclear) - I. 13. Metal alloys for power engineering (classical, nuclear) - II.

prerequisite
Knowledge
find connections among the pieces of knowledge acquired, and develop new knowledge discuss materials and functional products from the viewpoint of material selection and production technology
Skills
identify an ideal and an existing material for a particular product combine the knowledge acquired and have understanding of fundamental principles of materials and manufacturing technologies characterize a material using information obtained from standards, results of tests and examinations, and consequently propose a suitable use of this material

learning outcomes
Knowledge
interpret findings on materials and therefore be able to select a material for any product with respect to its performance assess how such a material could be manufactured and what analytical methods might be appropriate for determining its utility properties
Skills
develop materials specifications and a manufacturing route for a given component conduct a critical assessment of strengths and weaknesses of this material and the manufacturing technologies find connections between fundamental principles of materials and final properties in a particular product connect the acquired knowledge and skills
