Materials Engineering, advanced course

The course has a special emphasis on concepts and terminology, as well as the connection between mechanical properties and the microstructure of materials. The course includes: - lectures and seminars covering mechanical properties and testing, deformation mechanisms, hardening mechanisms, fractures, phase transformations, phase diagrams, transformation diagrams, and corrosion, as well as the structure, properties, and applications of metallic, ceramic, and polymeric construction materials, and - mandatory laboratory sessions where students use microscopes and equipment for mechanical testing.
