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 and industrial use of materials. Upon successful completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Explain and discuss the mechanical properties of metallic and polymer material based on their structure.
- Explain how the mechanical properties of a metallic material can be modified with the help of different manufacturing processes which induce changes in the material’s structure.
- Describe the influence of temperature and aggressive environment on the use of material.
- Describe the typical properties of the material groups included in the course and their application areas.
- 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 for strengthening, diffusion and case hardening, fracture, solidification, phase diagram, heat treatment, steel, cast iron, light alloys, superalloys, corrosion and prevention.
Polymer materials: structure and typical properties, glass transition of thermoplastics.
Group work to analyze an already made material selection.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, tutorials, laboratory work and group work. A written examination is given at the end of the course.

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.
