Materials Science II with Lab Exercises

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Materials Science II with Lab Exercises
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2004

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MAB-2.2 Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2004 , semester 2, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 56.25 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
Starting from an understanding of the relationship between the structure and properties of materials, students will learn the methods used in materials science to measure and modify material properties. Students will then learn to select the materials or material states best suited for particular applications and processes.

Module content:
- Steel (production and how production modifies material properties, steel designation systems)  
- Annealing, hardening and tempering of steel
- Types of steel (construction steels, heat-treatable steels, tool steels, high-temperature and stainless steels) and types of cast iron (cast steel, lamellar, spherulitic and vermicular-graphite cast iron)
- Overview of non-ferrous materials (aluminium, titanium, copper and nickel materials)
- Plastics (structure and property modifications, characteristic features, fibre-reinforced materials)
- Ceramics (structure, manufacture, classification and properties)
- Materials testing (hardness, notched-bar impact testing, fracture toughness, vibration resistance, deformation testing) including independent testing by students with systematic documentation and analysis
