Lecture: Materials Science (B. Sc.)

The lecture Materials Science consists of two parts: The first part, running through christmas break, will be taught by Dr. Fiedler from the Institute for Materials Science (IfW); the second part through the end of the semester will be taught by Prof. Dilger from the Institute of Joining and Welding Technology (IFS).

Contents of both parts:

Introductory course in materials (metals, polymers, ceramics) focusing on:

• atomic bonding and structure of the materials
• elastic and plastic behaviour; stresses, strains and Hook's law; tensile test
• dislocations in metals; measures to increase the strength of metals
• phase diagrams
• processes at high temperatures
• oxidation and corrosion

Study of basic concepts and focusing on the following topics illustrated by application examples:

• stress and strength
• determination of strength by means of materials and components tests (destructive and non-destructive test methods)
• metallic construction materials (steel, aluminum, magnesium): alloying, producing, properties, application
• non-metallic construction materials (plastics, fibre composites): production, properties, application
