Learning outcomes for the course
After completing the course, students will be able to:
- describe the structure of metals, polymers, ceramics, and composite materials
- describe the properties, especially the mechanical properties, of engineering metals, polymers, ceramics, and composite materials, and the way these affect the most important applications for these materials
- describe and sketch the most common metal crystal structures, and label the planes and directions of these
- explain the basic heat treatment processes for metals and be able to use the binary phase diagrams, especially the Fe-C phase diagram
- identify and describe common microstructures of metallic material and explain the influence of structure and phase transformations on the resulting mechanical properties
- describe the concepts of elastic and plastic deformation and use the most common methods for mechanical testing of material, especially metals
- describe the most common hardening mechanisms of metallic material
- work with common techniques for material testing and light optical microscopy.
