Materials Science with Lab Exercises

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Materials Science with Lab Exercises
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019
Module code: MST2.WEW
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P231-0087, P231-0088
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
3V+1P (4 hours per week)

MST2.WEW (P231-0087, P231-0088) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 1, mandatory course
MST2.WEW (P231-0087, P231-0088) Mechatronics and Sensor Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2020 , 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 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Moritz Habschied
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Moritz Habschied

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be familiar with the fundamentals of mechanical material behavior and the structure of metals. This will enable them to determine and interpret static material parameters. Students will be able to transfer their knowledge into technical applications.
 
They will be familiar with the formation of alloys and will be able to read and interpret state diagrams, schematically illustrate the microstructural development on the basis of cooling curves and to classify real microstructures. Based on this, students will be able to plot the microstructures in the iron-carbon diagram, as well as explain and illustrate the difference between steels and cast iron materials.
 
They will be able to identify and select the different materials by means of material designation systems.
 
They will be familiar with the procedures involved in annealing processes and will be able to select the most suitable one for the purpose and choose the appropriate parameters.  
 
They will be able to determine material properties after hardening using TTI and cooling diagrams and select suitable tempering treatments.
 
They will be familiar with the different methods of surface hardening and their essential differences in properties and processes.
