Intended learning outcomes
This course aims at presenting students fundamentals in the field of materials science and engineering with emphasis on explaining the relationship between the structure of a material, its mechanical properties and its manufacturing process. Upon successful completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Describe and explain the structure of a material from atomic to macroscopic scale.
- Discuss the mechanical properties of polymers and metallic material based on their structure.
- Explain the relationship between the structure of a material and its mechanical properties as well as discuss the possibilities to modify the structure with help of different processes to obtain desired properties.
- Determine and explain the microstructure obtained after phase transformation under equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium condition.
- Describe the influence of temperature and aggressive environment on the use of material.
- Analyze and discuss selection of materials for structure based on the knowledge introduced in this course.
Course content
Main engineering material classes, atomic bonding, mechanical properties and testing methods.
Metallic materials: crystal structure, defects in crystals, mechanisms and methods for strengthening, diffusion and case hardening, fracture, solidification, phase diagram, phase transformation in solid state, heat treatment, steel, cast iron, light alloys, superalloys, corrosion and prevention.
Material selection

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
