Objectives and competences
Objectives:
• Knowledge the modern engineering materials that engineer use in praxis;
• Understanding of relationships between the microstructure and the properties of advanced materials;
Competences:
• Combination of knowledge, skills and behavior for correct usage of different engineering materials.
Content (Syllabus outline)
In this course the students first improve and enlarge the basic knowledge of ideal and real structure of engineering materials. The next chapters are arranged in groups, each group describes a particular class of properties of metallic, ceramic and polymer constructional materials: the importance of stiffness, strength, fatigue, fracture toughness, creep and temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, resistance to wear, thermal expansion and thermal conductivity and so forth. Each chapter starts with physical definition of property, continues with descriptions how it is measured and ends by property map of selected data, which enable a comparison of treated parameters for different metallic, ceramic and polymer materials.
The second part continues by presentation of selected standard as well as modern and advanced constructional materials: Constructional steels, martempering steels, austempering steels, maraging steels, boron steels, ausforming steels, isoforming steels, dual phase low alloyed steels, high strength steels, interstitial free & ultra low carbon steels, alloys based on aluminum, magnesium and titanium, oxide, carbide and nitride ceramic (MgO, Al2O3, Y2O3, SiC, Si3N4), polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinylchloride, polytetrafluorethylene, Polyamide, polyisopren, polymethacrylate, polyurethane, epoxies and silicones.
Learning and teaching methods
• Lecture;
• Tutorial and laboratory work;
• Seminar work.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
• Compare the structure and properties of constructional materials;
• Define the influence of structure on the properties;
• Analyse the tools for correct selection of constructional materials;
• Determine the functional index of selected constructional material;
• Explain the influence of environment on changes in the microstructures of constructional materials;
• Analyse the selected constructional material;
• Apply the kinetic diagram and predict the microstructure for selected thermomechanical treatment.
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
Knowledge of constructional and their selection enables the students to solve successfully the problems of engineering design.
