1 Materials Science
This lecture covers the fundamentals of mechanical materials science, including the basic properties of metals and their use
as materials for machine structures. The textbook "Mechanical Materials Science" published by JSME will be used as a textbook,
and the following chapters of high importance will be studied.
Chapter 2: Material Structure
Chapter 3 Strength and deformation of materials
Chapter 4 Equilibrium state diagram
Chapter 6 Phase Transformation and Heat Treatment
Chapter 9: Iron and Steel Materials
Basically, each chapter will be taught for two days for a total of 14 lectures, but this will be adjusted depending on the
importance of the chapter. There will be a mid-term examination at the end of Chapters 3, and a final examination at the end
of Chapters 9.
It is very important for engineers to understand the characteristics of materials and use them in the right place. It is necessary
knowledge for mechanical engineers even if they are not engaged in material development. The purpose of this lecture is to
acquire the material knowledge required as an engineer.
- Structure of Materials: Understand the major crystal structures and be able to explain density, crystal defects, and X-ray
diffraction.
- Strength and Deformation of Materials:Understand stress, strain, Hooke's law, and solve basic material mechanics problems.
Understand the principle of dislocation and be able to explain the relationship between dislocation, plastic deformation and
material strengthening methods.
- Equilibrium State Diagrams: Understand the phase law and find the degrees of freedom; read binary equilibrium state diagrams;
understand the principle of leverage in state diagrams; understand the structure, composition, and ratios in equilibrium state
diagrams. To be able to understand the principle of leverage in the state diagram, and to be able to determine the structure,
composition, and its ratio.

- Phase Transformation and Heat Treatment: Understand the equilibrium state diagram and cooling transformation curve of the
iron-carbon system. understand the major microstructures and their characteristics.
- Steel Materials: Understand the characteristics of major steel materials such as stainless steel.
