Introduction to engineering materials: metals, plastics, composites and ceramics. Atomic and crystal structure of metals, crystal lattices. Properties of materials: physical, mechanical, technological properties.
Structure of metals and metal alloys. Crystallization, the structure of metal alloys. Binary phase diagrams. Iron-carbon alloys: steels and cast irons. Basics of heat treatment of steels. Non-ferrous metals and their alloys: Al, Cu, Ni, Ti and Mg.
Non-metallic engineering materials: plastics, ceramics and composites. Classification, properties and usage. |
