Atomic structure and atomic bonds

Structures of crystalline and amorphous solids

Defects in crystalline solids

Alloys

Transport and transformation phenomena in the solid state

Corrosion

Wear

Mechanical properties

Testing of materials

The students are able to describe the relationship between atomic structure, microscopical observations, and properties of solid materials.

The students can describe the typical property profiles and can name applications for the most important engineering materials.

The students are able to describe standard materials characterization methods and can explain the evaluation of these methods. They can judge materials on base of the data obtained by these methods.
