Last Updated: 2026-02-05 14:59:52
Abstract
Basic concepts of metal physics and technology.Ionic and covalent bonds in ceramics and glass.Basics of polymers.
Objective
Understanding of important aspects of materials science, with special emphasis on metallic materials. Understanding the ionic and covalent bonds in ceramics and glass
Content
Thermodynamics and Phase Diagrams, Crystal Interfaces and Microstructure, Diffusional Transformations in Solids, Diffusionless Transformations. In the second half ceramic materials will be introduced. The basics of the chemical bonds of ceramics and glass will be presented. Heterogenous phase equilibria and the the properties of the four most important structural ceramics are given. An introduction to fracture mechanics of brittle materials will allow to predict the survival probabilities and life time of components unter static and dynamic load.
