  • Course description

    Block 1: basics

    • • Overview of metallic additive manufacturing and friction based joining techniques;
    • • Fundamentals on different technologies (PBF, DED, WAAM, FSW …);
    • • Physics and mechanics of thermomechanical processes (thermomechanics basics, phase transformation, residual stresses …);
    • • Metallurgical and mechanical properties.

    Block 2: advanced

    • • Physics of the energy-matter interaction;
    • • Advanced metrology in additive manufacturing;
    • • Friction based processes and impact on microstructures and properties;
    • • Microstructure and advanced physical properties;
    • • Focus on steels and aluminium, nickel and titanium alloys,
    • Within the school, students will have the opportunity to develop their own project under the guidance of specialists in telecommunications, biophotonics and fiber optics. The development of the project will consist of both the theoretical part (the schematic part and the corresponding calculations), and the practical part where students can assemble and test their own device.

    Block 3

    • •Experimental demonstrations and field trips to industrial companies.

    Block 4

    • •Intensive course of Survival Russian language.
