Summary
The Materials Science module familiarises students with the major families of materials (metals, ceramics and polymers) and helps them understand important criteria to be taken into account when choosing materials. The different classes of materials are defined based on the structure of the material as well as their properties and behaviours. The mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical behaviours of solids are studied within each class of materials through measurements using the database. Based on the behavioural study and property measurements, students are able to identify a material. The large families of industrial materials are covered to allow students to choose a simple material for a defined application. The steps studied range from raw materials, production, use until the end of the material's life and recycling.
Educational goals
- The different material classes: o Knowledge of the different material classes by referring to their structure, o Knowledge and measurement of the mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical properties as well as knowledge of the economic and ecological characteristics of each of the classes, - Metallic materials: Phases and phase equilibriums ￜ application to steels o Phase diagrams, o Formation of the microstructure during solidification and observation of the microstructure, o Awareness of the correspondence between microstructure and mechanical properties. - Heat treatments of steels: o Kinetic laws of growth and formation, o Isothermal and continuous cooling TTT kinetic diagrams, o Implementation of heat treatments and characterisation: tensile, hardness and impact tests.
