Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the way alloying elements work in Fe, Al, Ti, Cu and Ni and will be able to draw conclusions about the processing and service properties of low-alloy and high-alloy steels as well as Al, Ti, Cu and Ni alloys on the basis of the chemical composition. In addition, they will understand the alloy concepts of the steels commonly used in mechanical engineering as well as of Al, Ti, Cu and Ni materials, be able to describe their structure and properties and be familiar with their applications.
Students will be given an overview of the technically important polymer materials with regard to structural principles, thermal state ranges and deformation behavior and will be familiar with important processes in plastics technology.
