Subject 'Engineering Materials'Name in Estonian: Tehnomaterjalid
General descriptionIntroduction to engineering materials: metals, plastics, composites and ceramics. Atomic and crystal structure of metals, crystal lattices. Properties of materials: physical, mechanical, technological properties.
Sturcture 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 on 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. General aimThe aim of the course is to provide knowledge about main engineering materials in modern technology: metallic materials, non-metallic materials. Steels, cast irons, copper- and aluminum alloys, materials with special technologies and physical properties. Organic and inorganic polymers. Engineering plastics, elastomers, ceramic, glass, graphite, composite materials.
AimThe student who has mastered this course can select the suitable material from the group of engineering materials according to working conditions. Is aware of the criteria according to which the suitability of material is estimated for working on big mechanical load, high or low temperature, in aggressive environment, intensive corrosion. Knows the main features according to which the structural materials are selected according to making technology, required mechanical and physical properties. Evaluates the material and its processing costs in case that the technical requirements enable to use different engineering materials.
Is able to select the material and its method of heat-treatment according to exercise. Form descriptionLectures, homework "Choice of Material", test.
