Materials Engineering I
6.0 ECTS creditsSpecial emphasis is placed on concepts and terminology as well as the connection between mechanical properties and the microstructure of materials. The course covers construction materials in the categories of metals, polymers, and ceramics.
The course contains:
- lectures and seminars treating mechanical properties and testing, deformation mechanisms, strengthening mechanisms, fractures, phase transformations, phase diagrams, transformation diagrams, heat treatment, and corrosion, as well as the structure, properties, and applications of metallic, ceramic, and polymeric engineering materials
- mandatory laboratory assignments where students are trained in the use of light microscopes, scanning electron microscope, and equipment for mechanical testing (tensile, impact, and hardness tests).
