COURSE DESCRIPTION

Modern materials research and related precision engineering requires a fundamental understanding of properties of materials. It is the aim of the course to teach material science based on the physical and chemical basics thereof to enhance the understanding of materials, their application performance and related failure modes. The course provides the basis for understanding material properties with respect to chemistry and atomic structure and specifically the ability to tailor chemistry, crystallography, microstructure and surface properties of materials. Analytical methods to analyse important material properties are also part of the course.

In part one atomic structure and arrangement, fundaments of the different major material classes and their properties are outlined.
In part two the interaction between structure and physical, chemical, electrical properties and crystal imperfections and related problems as diffusion are reviewed.
Part three deals with strengthening mechanisms of materials and related phase diagrams and phase transformations are introduced.
Part four deals with analytics, need for a deeper understanding of the different failure mechanisms and the surface properties and reactions.
In part five the different classes of solid materials - metals, ceramics, polymers and hybrid materials - are introduced, and illustrated with state-of-the-art problems from medical and precision engineering. Materials properties ranging from mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical, and the interaction with cells and tissues will be reviewed and engineering concepts based on crystallography and microstructure will be introduced. A particular focus here will be on surface engineering solutions.
Finally analytical methods for materials and failure analysis as well as a general methodology to select materials for particular application will be reviewed.
