Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MST.WEW (P231-0089, P231-0090, P231-0091) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2012 , semester 1, mandatory course
MST.WEW (P231-0089, P231-0090, P231-0091) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 1, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
MST.FWF Precision Manufacturing
MST.PMT

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the principles of mechanical material behavior and be able to apply them to static loads and processes, determine the characteristic values of tensile tests, interpret them and apply them to simple cases by means of laboratory tests.
 
They will be familiar with the composition of microstructures.
 
They will be familiar with the how alloys are formed and will be able to depict them in state diagrams. They will be able to read and interpret state diagrams and schematically depict the microstructural development on the basis of cooling curves and classify real microstructures on the basis of laboratory tests.
 
Students will be able to show the microstructures in an iron-carbon diagram and the difference between steels and cast iron materials.
 
They will be able to work with material designation systems and standardization.
 
Students will be able to select the conditions of a heat treatment in order to adjust the properties for steels and non-ferrous materials on the basis of laboratory tests.
 
Using TTT diagrams, students will be able to evaluate suitable quenching and tempering conditions for steels and evaluate suitable steels.
 
They will be able to select surface hardening processes.
 
They will be able to select the most relevant steels and non-ferrous materials and other materials.
