Applied Materials Testing and Characterization for Engineers 7.5 credits
Course Contents
The course introduces methods of evaluating material properties and characterizing the microstructure. Experimental work is done both on samples from materials produced by the students and from simulated components produced in industry. Results are analyzed and the reliability of the results are assessed.
The course includes the following elements:
- Fundamental principles behind different testing and characterization techniques
- Planning and hands-on materials investigations
- Mechanical tests of static and dynamic properties
- Analytical methods for thermo-physical properties
- Chemical characterization of materials
- Communication of test results
- Data analysis
- Applied case studies and project work
Prerequisites
