Aims
Target audience is presented by students aimed on materials´ chemistry. Goal of the lecture is to introduce real metallic structures in the context of previously taught chemical disciplines. The secondary goal is then the knowledge of most important properties of materials, their practical use and systematic categorization of both ferrous and nonferrous alloys.
