Material Technology (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Competence in Material Technology is needed in material selection, when analyzing material failures and selecting different production methods.
You will learn the basic terminology and diagrams and fracture surfaces related to basic material terminology. You will learn how the environment will affect on different materials and also the effect of material selection on sustainable development. You will be familiar with materials used in engineering, technical properties and most common applications. You also understand and the effects of different materials on the environment.

Knowledge and understanding;
You are familiar with materials used in engineering and how inner structure and changes in structure will affect material properties.You will understand the effect of environment in use of materials.

Investigations and information retrieval:
You have the ability to make information retrieval related to material technology. You can make experimental tests and work in laboratory environment.

Content

Material inner structure, mechanical properties and the effect of inner structure on properties. Effect of working and heat treatment on properties. Environmental effect on materials and the effect of materials on the environment. Material groups and laboratory work.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Assessment is based on mid-term exams, assignments and laboratory work.

Sufficient (1): You are familiar with basic terminology, but you can not interpret diagrams and fracture surfaces. You know how environment affects materials.

Satisfactory (2): You are familiar with basic terminology, you can interpret diagrams and fracture surfaces and you are familiar with environmental affects on materials, but you can not interpret them in practice.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good (3): You are familiar with basic terminology, you can interpret diagrams and fracture surfaces and you are familiar with environmental affects on materials, but you can not benefit the knowledge when selecting materials and interpreting failures.
