Course Syllabus for students Spring 2018

After a successful course, the student shall;

- display knowledge of the relationship between composition, structure and mechanical properties
- display knowledge of the material groups metals, polymers, composites and ceramics
- display knowledge of different types of material properties
- demonstrate comprehension of phase diagrams and alloys
- demonstrate comprehension of corrosion of metallic materials and mechanisms to prevent corrosion.

-demonstrating ability to explain test results, for example tensile tests.

- demonstrate the ability to different materials towards the state of equilibrium and the importance of this.

The course provides basic knowledge of structure and properties of engineering materials as well as the possibilities of influencing material properties.

The course contains the following:
- Atomic structure and atomic bonds
- Crystal structures and defects
- Diffusion
- Phase diagrams and alloys
- Material testing, failure and breakdown
- Iron and non-ferrous metallic materials and applications
- Heat treatment of metallic materials
- Polymeric materials, applications and related manufacturing methods
- Composites
- Ceramics
- Corrosion

Lectures, exercises and laborations.

The teaching is conducted in English.

General entry requirements and completed courses in Introduction to Product Development and Engineering, 15 credits and Single Variable Calculus, 9 credits (or the equivalent).
