| TMKM91 | Engineering Materials - new materials, ECTS-points /KONSTRUKTIONSMATERIAL - NYA MATERIAL/ Advancement level: D | |
| Aim: The course gives an overview of engineering materials with respect to the recent tendency of progress (Especially for ceramics). Examples of special material applications demonstrating various physical and engineering properties and combinations of these. The course also take a survey of the most important methods of non destructive testing used to assure properties or qualities of materials for advanced applications.Prerequisites: Advancement levels A and B of material science and engineering materials emphasising metals and polymers. Advancement level B in physics and solid mechanics.Course organization: Instructions are in forms of lectures, seminars and laboratory works. Furthermore, a task of material selection including analyse, selection and report is done by the students. Course content: Recent decade papers demonstrate overview tendencies of the development of engineering materials. Both mechanical and physical behaviours are considered. New steels, light-weight materials and other special alloys goes through in the first part of the course. Particularly considerations will be given for ceramic materials, their characteristics, physical- and mechanical properties and manufacturing methods. Simultaneous engineering, where the designing conditions and manufacturing process are treated simultaneously, is emphasised and demonstrated in order to achieve required or decided properties. In the last part of the course an introductory overview of the most important non destructive testing (ndt) methods is given. For example ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, eddy current and penetrant testing are defined with respect to possibilities and limitations. Today there are applications for new materials which require ndt just to allow the new material for these applications.
