This course familiarizes students with the various types of major engineering materials and their applications - enabling them to make better decisions for materials selection for engineering designs. While providing an understanding of engineering structures and how they relate to the mechanical properties of engineering materials, the course also offers information on how various heat treatments and processing techniques cause changes in the structure and property of alloys. In addition, students will find some advanced characterization methods including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and 3D atom probe tomography (APT) relating to metals’ and alloys’ microstructures from macro- to atomic- scale.
