Course Description
Engineering materials are broadly classified into metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. This course will focus primarily on metals and their alloys due to their widespread use in structural applications. Understanding material properties is critical for safe and economical design and manufacturing.
What you'll learn in this course?
Classify engineering materials based on their fundamental properties (mechanical, physical, chemical).
Explain the atomic structure of metals, including crystal lattices and defects.
Describe the iron-iron carbide phase diagram and the formation of key microstructures (ferrite, pearlite, austenite, cementite).
Differentiate between key heat treatment processes: annealing, normalizing, quenching, and tempering.
Identify the principles of primary metalworking processes (rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing) and secondary processes (machining, joining).
