Establishing the basic infrastructure in establishing the relationship between material, synthesis/production structure (atomic, crystal, micro and macro structures) properties (mechanical) and performance. As part of the course, conveying basic information on the following topics covered in the MBN 201L laboratory course: Demonstrating material testing methods and some basic events and gaining practical laboratory experience on this subject; Sample preparation for microstructure examination, sampling, embedding in plastic, sanding, polishing and etching, examination under a light microscope. Mechanical tests: Tensile, Hardness, Torsion, Fatigue, Impact.
1. Gain foundational knowledge in materials science.
2. Understand the general applications of different materials.
3. Establish a connection between material properties, microstructure, performance, and synthesis/production.
4. Relate physical and mechanical properties of materials to their structure.
5. Develop an understanding of phase transformations in materials.
6. Acquire fundamental knowledge about diffusion in materials.
7. Grasp the fundamental principles of material testing methods and laboratory applications in MBN 201L, including: Sample preparation for microstructure examination (sampling, embedding, grinding, polishing, etching, and light microscopy). Mechanical testing: Tensile, Hardness, Torsion, Fatigue, and Impact tests.
