Course Objectives: |
The aim of this course is to determine the structures of basic material types (metallic, ceramic, polymeric) and of composites and construction materials, also the interrelations between structure and various material properties for each type of material. Applications and limitations of engineering materials, based on their properties, in various fields will be evaluated. Various kinds of construction materials and their important properties along with the principles of corrosion and corrosion prevention will be investigated.
