Materials Science & Engineering

Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering is intended for students who want to learn about the nature of solid substances and, especially, for beginning engineering students making their first serious contact with the structure and properties of real solids.

It represents, clearly and logically, the chemical and physical principles on which the properties of materials depend. The basic relationships introduced in general chemistry and physics courses are reviewed and extended to permit the student to relate the properties of ceramic, metallic, and polymeric solids to their internal structure and external environment.

When steel is produced, it will undergo some process. Depending on this process, the properties of steel will change. You will obtain different properties by applying a different heat-treatment process. So, I’ve started to share information about mechanical properties of material like yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, ductility.

What is hardness, and how can we measure the hardness of material? In the last of the first part, I’ve talked about the type of material (Ferrous metallic material, non-ferrous metallic material, ceramics, and plastics). In the second part, this course will help you to understand the heat-treatment process. You’ll learn how you can use the iron-carbon equilibrium and TTT (Time-Temperature-Transformation) diagram. And finally, I’ve talked about the type of heat-treatment process.

I hope to see you in this Materials Science course! Lean back and understand all details of material science!
