| 327-0301-00L | Materials Science I Planned to be offered for the last time in HS 2020. | 3 credits | 3G | J. F. Löffler, R. Schäublin, A. R. Studart | |
| Abstract | Basic concepts of metal physics and ceramics, plus their related technologies. | ||||
| Learning objective | Based on the lecture 'Introduction to Materials Science' this lecture aims to give a detailed understanding of important aspects in materials science, with special emphasis on metallic and ceramic materials. | ||||
| Content | Thermodynamics and phase diagrams, crystal interfaces and microstructure, diffusional transformations in solids, and diffusionless transformations will be presented for metallic alloys. The basics of the ionic and covalent chemical bonds, the bond energy, the crystalline structure, four important structural ceramics, and the properties of glasses and glass ceramics will be presented for ceramic materials. | ||||
