diagram.
5.
Identify the structures, properties and applications of the
main engineering materials (metals, alloys, polymers,
ceramics and composites.
6.
Describe various manufacturing methods to process
materials and treatments to improve the properties of
materials.
7.
Explain corrosion mechanisms and types of corrosions and
also list methods of corrosion prevention.
Synopsis
At the beginning of the course, the students will be exposed to
the basic materials science which comprises of atomic structures
& bonding and also crystal structures & geometry and their space
lattices. Important engineering materials such as metals, alloys,
polymer, ceramics and composites together with their
properties, phase diagrams, treatments and types of testing will
be introduced. In addition, the corrosion/degradation of
materials and preventions is also included.
