Goals The aim of this course is to enable students to learn the fundamental concepts of materials science, types of materials and production methods, to understand the relationship between the atomic structures of materials and their mechanical properties, and to acquire the ability to perform basic material analysis and select appropriate materials.
Course Content Materials Science, Material Types and Production Methods
Learning Outcomes
# Öğrenme Kazanımı
1 Explains the fundamental concepts of materials science, material classes, and types of atomic bonds.
2 It analyses crystal structures, crystal systems and crystal defects by relating them to material behaviour.
3 Interprets the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of metals using examples.
4 Evaluates the purposes and results of fundamental test methods such as tensile, compression, hardness, impact, fatigue and creep testing.
5 Selects the appropriate material for a given application, taking into account the production method, structure-property relationship and operating conditions.
6 Adheres to occupational health, safety, ethical and academic integrity principles in material selection, experimental work and reporting processes.
