This course provides the fundamentals for understanding the mechanical properties of different classes of materials. The role played by the nano- and microstructure of the materials, how the mechanical properties are influenced by the composition or processing, as well as which methods can be used to determine material-specific mechanical parameters are examined.

Introduction to materials selection. Basic knowledge of major metallic materials: aluminium, magnesium, titanium, copper, iron and steel. Selected topics in high temperature materials: nickel and iron-base superalloys, intermetallics and refractory metals.
