Course description
Metals and alloys are essential in mechanical systems and they are used mainly as structural materials. Materials behavior and performance must be properly understood and controlled by some constitutive laws with reference to practical service conditions. Fundamental mechanisms controlling the mechanical properties will be highlighted by materials characterization concerning the microstructure and lattice defects. Final objective of this course will be the understanding of the atomic mechanisms in microstructural evolution during heat treatments of steels.
Expected Learning
This subject is based on lectures in the classroom.It is allocated to viewpoint (B) in the diploma policy. Basic understanding of materials science and engineering is expected.
1) capability of expaining the general properties of metallic materials like metallic bond and free electrons, crystal structure, dislocations and plasticity, eletric conductivity, thermal conductivity, color and reflection od visible light
2) capability of characterizing the microstructure of metallic materials including crystal structure, phase constitution, grain size and grain morophology, and textures.
3) capability of explaining plasticity and strengthening mechanisms with dislocation models
4) capability of explaining diffusion mechanism and its related phenomena like recovery, recrystallization, precipitation, and sintering
5) capability of explaining testing methods of materials strengths like hardness, tensile/compressive, shock loading, creep, fatigue tests
6) capability of explaining microsrtuctural constitution with adequate reference to phase diagrams, phase rules, lever rule that are governed by thermodinamic aspect of phases
7) capability of displaying typical phase diagrams of binary alloys with reference to invariant system reactions like eutectic/eutectoid and peritectic/peritectoid reactions
8) capability of typifying practical engineering alloys such as bronze, brass, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and steels with relevance to their industrial standards
9) capability of explaining the process of thermal treatment in carbon steels with reference to phase stability of ferrite/austenite phases and martensitic transformation
