The study course provides preliminary knowledge about the role of engineering materials in various branches of the economy. The regularities between materials and their alloys have been studied. The crystallization processes of materials and their influencing factors, their properties, and the possibilities of determining mechanical properties and regularities of the structure have been analysed. An insight into the material structure levels is given. The study course introduces the temperature-composition diagrams and properties of metal alloys. The basics of research opportunities at the macro-micro level are studied. The basics of heat treatment and its technologies are discussed. Recycling and basic principles of material selection are examined.
