Summary
Materials are everywhere, no engineering work is possible without someone at some point thinking about what materials to use to fulfill a function. This module presents the fundamentals of materials science, with the aim of mastering the relationships between process parameters, microstructure and macroscopic properties of matter in order to meet any need in the specifications. In order to do so, we will start from a description of the organization of matter at the atomic scale and thermodynamics to introduce the notion of microstructure. The influence of the process on the microstructure and its impact on the mechanical properties will then be discussed. Generic to all material families, this approach will be developed and applied to metals and alloys as well as polymers. A large part of the work will be devoted to the discovery and use of conventional techniques for the experimental characterization of the microstructure and mechanical properties of materials.
Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to : - Differentiate families of materials by their macro and microscopic properties. - Use phase diagrams to predict the microstructure of metallic materials. - Experimentally characterize the usual microstructures and mechanical properties of materials. - Make the link between materials, functional properties and real applications. Students will be made aware of the importance of the impact of the process on the microstructure, which conditions the properties of a real part. Contribution of the course to the skills repository; at the end of the course, the student will have progressed in : - Basic scientific knowledge (1.6, 3.2) - Informational skills: search for complementary documentation (1.5, 1.6), internal search for important information (1.5, 1.6), ability to formulate the problem (2.1, 2.2, 2.3). - Organizational skills (3.5) - Competencies relating to behaviour and sustained attention to safety issues (3.9) - Comprehension and communication skills in English, and possibly LV2.
