What it is about
You will get an introduction to central concepts of materials science. In the end you will be able to explain the essential properties of important classes of materials and calculate and justify solutions to typical problems such as crystal structures, defects, phase diagrams and corrosion.
What you will be able to do
- Understand fundamentals of crystallography
- Describe defects and imperfections in solids
- Explain diffusion and dislocation processes
- Recognize mechanisms of strength enhancement and failure
- Interpret phase diagrams and phase transformations
- Assess corrosion and degradation processes
- Name mechanical, electronic, thermal, magnetic and optical properties of various material classes
