Course description
Materials science is a field of study that looks at a material's atomic and molecular structure, its microscopic and macroscopic properties, and how different processes affect materials structure and properties. This course introduces fundamentals of fabrication method and processing method (mechanical and thermal) of materials and also their effects on structures and their properties. In the first part, classification of materials and their characteristics based on the basic chemistry will be given, and also their fabrication methods, mechanical processing and heat treatment procedures will be introduced. Then, in the second part, students can learn about the effects of the fabrication, mechanical processing and thermal processing on their crystal structure, microstructure and properties like mechanical strength, from the viewpoints of thermodynamics. This classes will be conducted hybrid manner (face to face and online using Zoom).
Purpose of class
The purpose of this course is to learn the types and characteristics of typical materials, and to learn about the structure, texture, stability, strength, and physical properties of materials that change with manufacturing and processing methods.
