Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)
On completion of the course, the student should
Knowledge and understanding
- have knowledge about the relationship between composition, microstructure and mechanical properties
- show knowledge about metals, polymers and ceramics
- show understanding about corrosion of metallic materials and protective mechanisms against corrosion
- show knowledge about different types of material properties
Skills and abilities
- show ability to interpret a tensile test and material failure
Judgement and approach
- show realisation about the variability of materials towards an equilibrium state and the importance of it
Contents
The course treats the basics in the relationship between structure and properties of engineering materials. The possibilities to affect properties of the engineering materials is also covered.
The course covers the following topics:
- Atomic structure and interatomic bonding
- Crystal structure and defects
- Diffusion and alloys
- Material testing, fracture and failure
- Ferrous and non-ferrous alloys
- Heat treatment of metal alloys
- Polymers
- Ceramics
- Corrosion
- Materials selection
Type of instruction
Lectures, quizzes and laboratory exercises.
The teaching is conducted in English.
