Intended learning outcomes

This course aims at presenting students fundamentals in the field of materials science and engineering with emphasis on explaining the relationship between the structure of a material, its mechanical properties and its manufacturing process as well as industrial use of materials. Upon successful completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

Describe and explain the structure of a material from atomic to macroscopic scale.
Discuss the mechanical properties of metallic and polymer material based on their structure.
Explain how the mechanical properties of a metallic material can be modified with the help of different manufacturing processes which change the material’s structure.
Determine and explain the microstructure obtained after phase transformation under equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium condition.
Describe the influence of temperature and aggressive environment on the use of material.
Analyze and discuss selection of materials for structure based on the knowledge introduced in this course.

Course content

Main engineering material classes, atomic bonding, mechanical properties and testing methods.
Metallic materials: crystal structure, defects in crystals, mechanisms and methods for strengthening, diffusion and case hardening, fracture, solidification, phase diagram, phase transformation in solid state, heat treatment, steel, cast iron, light alloys, superalloys, corrosion and prevention.
Polymer materials: structure and typical properties, glass transition of thermoplastics.
Group work to analyze an already made material selection.

Teaching and working methods

The course consists of lectures, tutorials, and laboratory work. A written examination is given at the end of the course.
